- Front Wheel Drive
-
- A front wheel drive
- system is very
- similar to the
- conventional rear
- wheel drive system.
-
- The transmission
- controls the
- relationship
- between engine RPM
- and wheel RPM. By
- changing this
- relationship, the
- right amount of
- torque is applied
- to the wheels for
- the any given
- driving condition.
- The clutch controls
- the application of
- engine torque to
- the transmission
- input shaft by
- slipping the clutch
- disk between the
- pressure plate and
- the flywheel.
- Torque is increased
- gradually so that
- the car can be
- started from a
- complete stop.
