BDifficulty 2/5

In a vehicle with a front engine and gearbox and rear-wheel drive, which component transmits rotation from the gearbox output to the rear differential?

Correct answer

Propeller shaft

The propeller shaft. In this layout it connects the gearbox output to the rear differential. The clutch connects or disconnects the engine and transmission, and the gearbox changes the transmission ratio. Not every vehicle uses this layout or a longitudinal shaft to the rear axle.
