- Crankshaft
-
- The rotation of the
- crankshaft turns
- the flywheel (in a
- manual
- transmission) or
- torque converter
- (in an automatic).
- Basically, the
- crankshaft
- transfers the power
- of combustion into
- rotational motion
- which is then
- converted into
- linear motion by
- the transmission
- and drivetrain.
-
- The most important
- components of the
- crankshaft assembly
- are the flywheel
- bearings, harmonic
- balancer, camshaft
- gear drive and the
- front and rear oil
- seals.
