[quote][i]Originally posted by Scotty C[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Rob H[/i] Gear boxes turn at a different speed to the engine.... well actually the input shaft (from the engine) turns the same speed as the engine, but the output shaft turns at a different rate, depending on the Gear your in. Basically the gear box is a torque multiplier to transfer the torque from the engin into a usable torque that will turn the wheels. 1st gear is rougly 3:1 ration, so for thee turns of the input shaft, you get one turn of the Out put shaft. Fourth is usally a 1:1 ratio, so for one revolution of the input shaft, you get one revolution of the output shaft. Fifth is usuall an overdrive gear, where by the output shaft turns more than the input shaft, arouns 0.8-0.9:1 ratio. The output shaft however then goes on to a final drive gear which brings the speed of the engine relative to the wheels even lower. The Differential can also be used to further increase the relative speeds :look:. [/quote] How the fuck do you know this stuff? Very complex and interesting. [/quote]
