The document discusses different automotive transmission systems including front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. It provides details on the layouts and components of each system. For front-wheel drive, it describes the transverse engine placement and categories such as front-engine transversely mounted. Rear-wheel drive typically involves a front-engine and rear-wheel placement, with additional layouts like rear-engine and mid-engine. Four-wheel drive is also mentioned but no details are provided. The experiment requires students to study and compare these transmission systems through diagrams, component identification, and analysis of advantages and applications.

EXPERIMENT NO. 1
NAME OF THE EXPERIMENT: Study of Transmission System

Objective:
The students will study the various transmission system employed in automotive vehicles. After this
they will be able to identify the different components of transmission system and the different layouts
of transmission system.

Requirements:
1. The students must make themselves familiar with all components and various layouts of transmission
system.
2. They shall sketch the different lay-out of different transmission system and label all components,
particularly front engine front wheel and front engine rear wheel drive.
3. The report should be submitted during the following lab-class.
4. The students are suggested to draw 2D figures.
5. The students should mention at least 3 advantages and disadvantages of each drive system.
6. Comparison among different drive systems are preferred.
a. 4WD vs 2WD
b. FWD vs RWD
7. Application/example of each drive system should be mentioned.


Front-wheel drive:
Front-wheel drive (FWD) is a form of engine/transmission layout used in motor vehicles, where the
engine drives the front wheels only. Most modern front-wheel-drive vehicles feature a transverse
engine, rather than the conventional longitudinal engine arrangement generally found in rear-wheel-
drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Most FWD layouts are front-engined. Rear-engined layouts are possible, but rare. Historically they fall
into three categories:
a. Front-engine transversely
mounted/ Front-wheel drive


b. Front-engine longitudinally
mounted/ Front-wheel drive


c. Front Mid-engine/ Front-
wheel drive



Rear-wheel-drive:
Rear-wheel drive (RWD) typically places the engine in the front of the vehicle and the driven wheels are
located at the rear, a configuration known as front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout (FR layout). The front
mid-engine, rear mid-engine and rear engine layouts are also used. This was the traditional automobile
layout for most vehicles up until the 1970s and 1980s.Nearly all motorcycles and bicycles use rear-wheel
drive as well, either by driveshaft, chain, or belt, since the front wheel is turned for steering, and it
would be very difficult and cumbersome to "bend" the drive mechanism around the turn of the front
wheel. A relatively rare exception is with the 'moving bottom bracket' type of recumbent bicycle, where
the entire drivetrain, including pedals and chain, pivot with the steering front wheel.
a. Front-engine, rear-wheel-
drive


b. Rear-engine, rear-wheel-
drive


c.
Rear mid-engine
longitudinally-mounted,
rear-wheel-drive


d.
Rear mid-engine
transversely-mounted,
rear-wheel-drive


Four-wheel drive:
