Drivers can use the selector lever or shift paddles on the steering wheel to shift themselves. Audi The automated manual transmission is perhaps better known and more accurately described as the dual-clutch automatic, and it is an increasingly popular option. Though the dual-clutch automatic ...
Belt drives are an alternative to chain drives. Early motorcycles often used leather belts, which could be tensioned to give traction using a spring-loaded pulley and hand lever. Leather belts often slipped, especially in wet weather, so they were abandoned for other materials and designs. By ...

Cooling is essential to an alternator's efficiency. It's easy to spot an older unit by the external fan blades found on the rotor shaft behind the pulley. Modern alternators have cooling fans inside the aluminum housing. These fans operate the same way, using mechanical power from the spinnin...

This ingenious 1959 flywheel system designed by Bertram Schmidt can fold in and out to increase or decrease the energy it stores. How does it work? The driving motor (green, right) powers the load (orange, left) through an axle (yellow) and pulley system (gray). As the speed of the ...
Place the pump’s pulley onto the front of the water pump, then position both the alternator and power steering pump belts into the grooves of the pulley. Pull the alternator away from the engine to tighten its belt, then tighten both of the alternator’s retaining bolts with a wrench. Ti...
The continuously variable transmission, or CVT for short, is used in vehicles primarily geared toward fuel economy. Unlike an automatic transmission, a CVT uses a steel belt that slides along a pulley system to select an optimal powerband. This system allows a vehicle to seamlessly transition and...

How disc brakes work: when you press the brake pedal, the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid pushes the piston out of the brake caliper. The caliper operates the brake pads that squeeze the disc between them, forcing it to stop.
