Features: This book discusses the basic transmission theory and maintenance principles of manual transmissions and transmission/drive axles in current general-purpose vehicles. It introduces the working principles of major assemblies such as clutches, transmissions, drive axles, propshafts, differentials, and universal joints in the transmission systems of rear-wheel-drive, front-wheel-drive, and four-wheel-drive vehicles, as well as common faults and their causes, diagnostic methods, maintenance methods, and key maintenance points. The book is divided into two parts, 16 chapters in total. The first part is the theory section, and the second part is the practice section. Each chapter concludes with a summary, case studies of maintenance, ASE fault diagnosis tables, and ASE-style review questions. The book is accompanied by numerous illustrations, and the second part also includes a large number of series photos that provide detailed explanations of maintenance processes. This book is suitable for technicians and engineers engaged in automotive maintenance, as well as serving as a textbook for professional theory and maintenance skills training.
