Driveshaft
Performs three functions:
- Changes the direction of the driving power.
- Final gear reduction.
- Allows drive wheels to rotate at different speeds when cornering.
Differential
Transmits power from the differential to the wheel.
Transaxle
A transaxle is a transmission and differential combined into one unit, used in front-wheel drive vehicles.
Transmission
Uses gears to transmit power from the engine to the drive wheels. Selecting different gears changes the amount of power and torque transmitted.
Clutch
The clutch either transmits or isolates the power from the engine to the transmission.
Propeller shaft
On front engine rear-wheel drive vehicles, the propeller shaft transmits power from the transmission to the differential.
