Engineering Explained Updated: 10 Oct 2024 Just because companies do something does not mean it’s necessarily a great idea from an engineering standpoint. A perfect example is that many modern CVT transmissions have stepped gears where the CVT simulates a series of gear ratios so that the...

Shifting to this gear allows you to drive the vehicle backward. To do that, stop the car completely and choose the R gear after pressing the shift-lock button. There’s no need to do anything while moving from R to N or D but shifting to R again will require the shift button. N (...
Accelerate and shit into second gear with room to rev. Keep the car revving on the engines powerband when you’re closing a corner to turn. As you approach the corner’s turn in point, push the clutch and flick the steering wheel to the inside of the turn while simultaneously pulling th...
Gear Ratios 65:12, 62:15, 61:16, 60:17, 59:18, 58:19, 57:20, 56:21 Top Speeds 55 mph, 65 mph, 71 mph, 77 mph, 83 mph, 95 mph, 102 mph* Steam generators were optional in the F9. They were produced by Vapor Clarkson; model OK4625 (1,200 Lbs/Hr) for "A" units and...
It adjusts the pump’s speed and timing based on various factors like engine load, throttle position, and RPM to optimize fuel delivery and maintain proper air-fuel ratios under different driving conditions. Signs that you need to have your fuel pump replaced A weakening fuel pump may not ...
The computer has set gear ratios and knows exactly when to shift up or down – but it doesn’t factor in the road situation when it does so. If you own a semi-automatic car, you have the option to shift it into manual, making driving at low-speed or low revs easier. ...
After carefully calculating, you can make different gear ratios depending on what you lock, the ring gear or the sun gear. And yes, you are correct, the converter also plays an important role in driving the transmission fluid pump.
Over the decades combustion chambers have evolved from large, slow burning designs like the publicly popular “HEMI” chamber to smaller, faster-burning, pent-roof designs. This has greatly improved detonation resistance and allowed for much higher compression ratios in modern engines along with improv...
The five-speed gearbox's ratios are good, but its shifter is the car's most immediately obvious failing; it's sloppy, and the gates are imprecise enough that a few unsuspecting F-10 owners are certain to go through life never finding second gear but going straight from first...
