The power train includes：1.engine：that produces power；2.transmission：either manual or automatic；3.clutch：used only on manual transmission, or torque converter.：used only on automatic transmission; 4.drive shaft：that transmits the power from transmission to differential；5.that carries the power to the two wheel axles.See Fig.5-1. Manual transmission The function of a manual transmission,shown in Fig.5-2, is to transfer engine power to the drive shaft and rear wheels. Gears inside the transmission change the car’s drive-wheel flywheel, clutch disk, pressure plate, release bearing and linkage. See Fig.5-4. The flywheel is bolted to the crankshaft of the engine. Its main function is to transfer engine torque from the engine to the transmission. The clutch disk is basically a steel plate, covered with a frictional material that goes between the flywheel and the pressure plate. A pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel. It includes a sheet metal cover, heavy release springs, a metal pressure ring that provides a friction surface for the clutch disk. The release bearing is the heart of clutch operation. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the throw-out bearing moves toward the flywheel, pushing in the pressure plate’s release fingers and moving the pressure plate fingers or levers against pressure plate spring force. The linkage transmits and multiplies the driver’s leg force to the fork of the clutch pressure plate. A mechanical clutch linkage usually consists of the clutch pedal, a series of linkage rods and arms, or a cable. A
