Textbook Question
Chapter 38, Problem 7ASRQ
While discussing the power flow through a five-speed transmission while it is in first gear: Technician A says that power enters on the input shaft, which rotates the countershaft that is engaged with first gear. Technician B says that the first gear synchronizer engages with the clutching teeth of first gear and locks the gear to the main shaft, allowing power to flow from the input gear through the countershaft and to first gear and the main shaft. Who is correct?
a. Technician A only
b. Technician B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B

When an idler gear is placed between the driving and driven gears, the driven gear:a. rotates the opposite direction as the drive gearb. rotates the same direction as the drive gearc. reduces the torque transfer from the drivegear to the driven geard. none of the above
When discussing the various gear positions of a transfer case, Technician A says that when the transfer case is in low, the overall gear ratio is numerically increased. Technician B says that when the transfer case is in the high position, the vehicle operates in an overdrive mode due to the decrease in torque multiplication. Who is correct?
Gears and crankshaft are transmitting type of short distance power type of transmission.
