FundamentalsofAutomobile
Todayisaveragecarcontainsmorethan15,000separate,individualpartsthatmustworktogether.Thesepartscanbegroupedintofourmajorcategories:
engine,body,chassisandelectricalandelectronicequipment(Fig.1.1).
1Engine

3.1Transmission
Thetransmissionsystemcomprisesclutch,gearbox,propellershaft,rearaxleanddifferentialandthedrivenroadwheels.
