What determines whether a conventional transmission or a transaxle is used?
Whether a conventional transmission or transaxle is used in a vehicle.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The type of drive system helps to determine either a transmission or transaxle is used.
Explanation of Solution
In a vehicle, the type of drive system helps in determining whether it is a conventional transmission or a transaxle. Both the transmission housing and transaxle uses a set of meshed gears of varying sizes to provide the engine various output torque and speed needed to drive the wheels. The vehicles that have rear wheel drive mainly use a conventional transmission and the vehicles with front-wheel drive use a transaxle.
