How to calculate the RPM of a small gear?

How to calculate the RPM of a small gear?

The general rule is – small to large gear means ‘divide’ the velocity ratio by the rpm of the first gear. Divide 75 teeth by 25 teeth to find the velocity ratio. divide the 60rpm by the velocity ration (3). The answer is 20rpm.

What to do when reverse gear wont work?

Make sure the shifter cable is in place and firmly connected. The loss of power in the other gears is also a sign that the transmission fluid needs to be serviced. Make sure the transmission is inspected as well as can be when the fluid is changed.

Which is larger the driver gear or the driven gear?

In the example below the DRIVER gear is large than the DRIVEN gear. The general rule is – large to small gear means ‘multiply’ the velocity ratio by the rpm of the first gear. Divide 60 teeth by 30 teeth to find the velocity ratio. Multiply this number (2) by the rpm (120). This gives an answer of 240rpm.

How to calculate gear ratios for compound gears?

Resultant gear ratio can be calculated by multiplying individual gear ratios. Step-1 : Calculate gear-1 and gear-2 GR. Step-2 : Calculate gear-2 and gear-3 GR. Compound Gears consist of more than one gear on single axis. Therefore gears on the same shaft rotate at the same speed. In this example gear 2 and gear 3 are on the same shaft.

What is the second code on a torque convertor clutch?

The second code may be more severe. It is showing code “P1744” “torque convertor clutch system performance”, which could be costly. I called three transmission shops a little while ago (we have about 100 here locally) and I got a variety of answers. A couple said it could be the converter itself, or a solenoid, or a pressure leak.

Why does my transmission rpm keep climbing up?

It seems that the gears are slipping and causing the rpm’s to climb up. Check the transmission fluid and make sure that it’s full and red in color. Very dark red or black transmission fluid is an indication that the transmission is burning the fluid for getting too hot from either overloading or slipping gears.

What are the symptoms of bad speed sensor?

Sometimes when I slow down at a turn then accelerature after the turn- it will jerk a little when downshifting to the next lower gear (1st). Sometimes it shifts fine. Today, upon heavy acceleration at one time- it tried to shift to higher gears before it should. Also- one today- it seemed like it “skipped” 2nd gear and went from 1st to 3rd gear.

Can a bad speed sensor cause a bad throttle?

In fact, symptoms of a faulty speed sensor may also result symptoms of other common components such as a defective coil pack or bad throttle position sensor. However, here is a list of the most common symptoms associated with a bad engine speed sensor:
