3. Definition and Components
Components of vehicles drive system
Major components
Engine
Transmission
Drive shafts
Differentials

4. Engine Burns fuel and converts energy to motion Many types of engines
Most cars use internal combustion engine
Also use 4 stroke combustion cycle

5. Transmission 2 types of transmission
Every car possesses a transmission
Gear ration between engine changes during acceleration and deceleration
Transmission allows you to change gears
Change gear so engine stay below redline on rpm meter

6. Drive Shaft Used to turn differentials
Connects the transmission to the differentials
Runs perpendicular to the axles
In 4X4 it runs through differential in the center
no drive shaft in front wheel drive

7. Differentials Has three jobs Helps a car turn
Aims engine power at wheels
Acts as final gear reduction
Allows wheels to rotate at different speeds
Helps a car turn
No differential will cause wheels to lock together

8. Conclusion
Powertrain consists of all the components of a vehicle drive system
Is comprised of:
Engine
Transmission
Drive Shaft
Differentials
