The power train carries power from the engine crankshaft to the driving wheels so the wheels rotate and car moves. 2. How many main parts does power train consist of? II. Text A- Power Train The power train carries power from the engine crankshaft to the driving wheels so the wheels rotate and car moves. The typical power train on most cars consists of four parts，includes the clutch, the transmission, the differential and the drive shaft. power train=drive line 动力传动系 driving wheels 驱动车轮 typical 典型的 clutch 离合器 transmission 变速器 differential 差速器 drive shaft 主动轴，驱动轴 The clutch shown in fig. 4-3 allows you to connect and disconnect the engine and the transmission, both starting up and during shifts. Friction plates route the rotation of the engine crankshaft to the gears, and then to the wheels. connectdisconnect 接合 分离 start up v 起动，开动 friction plates 摩擦片（盘） route 发送 In a manual transmission, you disengage the clutch when you press the pedal down.

It provides a means for varying the ratio between engine rpm and driving wheels rpm to best meet each particular driving situation. means 手段，方法 ratio 比率 rpm = revolutions per minute 转数／分 meet 对付，应对 Manual transmission requires use of a clutch to apply and remove the engine torque to the transmission input shaft. The clutch allows this to happen gradually so that the car can be started from a complete sto
