Engine ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],In order to create mechanical energy, car engines needs to combust (explode) gasoline in a closed chamber to push off a mechanical part (piston) down and up. The up and down motion of the piston creates a circular motion in the crankshaft via the connecting rods. This is more clearly seen in the animated pictures below.

Clutch or Torque converter ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],An apparatus that disconnects the engine from the transmission in order for the car to change gears and then enables the gears to resume contact and turn together at a new speed.

Gear Box or Transmission ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Multiplies engine torque via gear reduction and/or torque conversion. A typical manual transmission has four or five speeds, with the final or highest gear being either a direct 1:1 drive ratio or an "overdrive" ratio (less than 1:1). Gear Box Mechanism

Propeller Shaft or Drive shaft ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Drive Shaft Mechanism Transmits engine torque to the differential, or from the differential to the drive wheels.

Differential or Rear Final Drive ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A special gearbox designed so that the torque fed into it is split and delivered to two outputs that can turn at different speeds. Differential Mechanism
