A Familiarization of Drivetrain
Components e-Seminar
I.D.#PD130555ON (Online delivery)

An efficient, durable, and quiet running drivetrain is as essential to
customer satisfaction as styling and interior creature comforts. In
this e-Seminar, you will be exposed to various methods that can be
used to accomplish this goal. Designed to help you visualize both
individual components and the entire drivetrain system - without
reference to complicated equations - this e-seminar focuses on the
terms, functions, nomenclature, operating characteristics and effect on
vehicle performance for each of the drivetrain components. Instructor
Joseph Palazzolo provides an introduction to the various components
of the drivetrain, including the clutch or torque converter, manual or
automatic transmission, driveshaft, axle, wheel ends, and brakes.
The course presentation also provides insight into: the structure and
function of each component; vehicle performance; and related noise,
vibration and harshness issues. You will be equipped to evaluate the
space requirements, mounting needs, clearances required, and effect
on vehicle performance for each component.
Based on the popular classroom seminar, the five and a quarter hour
course is divided into seven modules accompanied by a handbook.

By participating in this e-Seminar, you will be able to:
•	Discuss both practical and technical aspects of smoothing clutch
operation by incorporating cushion and torsional dampers.
•	Compare different types of transmission synchronizers, automatic
transmission torque converters, hydraulic clutch operation and
epicyclic gear trains.
•	Describe the interaction of gear ratios and vehicle performance as
related to engine horsepower and torque curves.
•	Explain phasing and mounting of propeller shafts as related to
torsional excitation and secondary couple loads
•	Review different types of differentials.
•	Compare common misconceptions of limited slip devices to their
actual performance.
•	Recognize four-wheel drive systems and the need for an inter-axle
differential.
•	Appraise electronic control of torque through braking and clutching
devices.
•	Evaluate the total drivetrain package as a system
