Can a 2 wheel drive and a 4 wheel drive pitman arm shaft to gear box seal be the same?
It could, if they have the same gear box.
How does a car drive shaft operation?
when the car engine is start and the driver shift a gear,the power front the engine transfer to the drive shaft and its transfer the torque or power to the axle shaft the move a wheel.
What will cause a car to shake in the rear on acceleration?
If it is a rear wheel drive car you could have a bad U joint, bent drive shaft or a broken tooth or two on the ring and pinion gear. If it is a front wheel drive vehicle you may have a bent rear axle or bad bearing. If it is four wheel drive or all wheel drive you may have a bent drive shaft.
What causes a rumble in what you think is the driveline that starts in first gear and disappears by the high end of second gear in a 1988 BMW 535?
You should probably have the drive shaft checked (if it's rear wheel drive) or the CV joints if it's front wheel drive.
What is an axle for?
It is the center shaft of a rotating wheel or gear.
How does a manual transmission in a car work?
There are two shafts which run through the gearbox, the input shaft and the output shaft, and the two are connect by pairs of gearwheels, one for every 'gear' of the car. They are paired together: Gear 1 will have a small wheel on the input shaft and a large wheel on the output shaft, meaning less speed and more turning force. Gear 5 will have a large wheel on the input shaft and a small wheel on the output shaft, to ensure a high speed. Moving the gear stick to select a gear pulls a 'synchromesh' into place. This locks the input shaft a gear on the input shaft, allowing the movement to be transferred to the output shaft via that particular 'gear'. In the Neutral setting, the synchromeshes are all disengaged. In Reverse gear, there are three wheels involved in the transmission, instead of two.
Can you use a different gear ratio on your 2003 silveradoit has a 373 gear4 wheel drive and disk brakesdont have to have 4 wheel drive want to know What is compatiable due to your rearend went out?
to use 4 wheel drive,both front and rear ends must have same gear ratio. if you dont want to use 4 wheel drive,u can change rear ratio,but remove front drive shaft so as not to accidently engage 4 wheel drive and trash your transmission
How does the gear drive differ from the chain drive in regard to direction of rotation of the wheels?
With a chain drive the driven wheel will always rotate in the same direction as the drive wheel, but in a gear drive the direction of rotation will change between drive wheel and driven wheel.
Your car goes into gear but does not drive?
if its rear wheel drive then check differential and if it is a front wheel drive car or diferential is fine then a gear in the trannsmission is sheered
How does a shaft driven motorbike works?
Where the gearbox sprocket would be is shifted through 90 degrees. A drive shaft is connected, on a universal joint, between the gearbox and the back wheel 'bevel box' hub. The bevel box contains a bevelled pinion gear, on the end of the drive shaft, which connects to a bevelled crown wheel attached to the wheel hub; like half a reverse engineered car differential. The drive shaft is often enclosed in one leg of the swing arm, to which the bevel box hub is also attached.
What part of an engine turns the transmission on?
there is a gear sticking out at the back of the engine block a couple centimetres that the transmission bolts to then the drive shaft is attached to turn your wheels (rear wheel drive) if your car is fronwheel drive it will not have a driveshaft.
Where is the speedometer driven gear seal on a transmission located?
remove the drive shaft on rear wheel drives and remove the tailshaft cover the speed o gear will be on the shaft Pay attention, the question was where's the 'driven' gear, If you follow the speedometer cable down to the transmission, the cable is screwed onto a connector on the tail shaft cover. When you remove the cable you see a bolt or screw holding that connector to the housing, remove the bolt and pull the connector out. That gear on the end of it should mesh with the worm gear, (which is the drive gear), on the tail shaft. The seal is on the bottom of the threads where the speedometer cable is attached between the screw on connector and the gear. A black O-ring about the size of a mans wedding ring. this is for all conventional rear wheel drive vehicles. If you have a very new care or a front wheel drive car this could look very different but in any case follow the speedometer cable to the output side of the transmission and look for a way to pull that connector out.
