Part of Lesson Plan: **Manual Transmission Power Flow (updated) by Beau Sunahara

Activity Overview / Details

Teacher will demonstrate how power flows through a manual transmission in reverse, for a 3-speed manual transmission.

This can be done in one of two ways:  Teacher can list out all the parts in order as power flows through a 3-speed manual transmission in reverse or by drawing a line over a projection to show how power is flowing through the transmission.

If teachers are listing out parts, it would be: Input shaft > input gear > input counter gear > counter shaft > reverse counter gear > reverse idler gear > reverse gear > 1- reverse synchronizer > output shaft.

If teacher is drawing out power flow, they can either use a transmission and document camera or an overhead slide to draw a line as in the reverse resources materials.

The teacher will ask for questions at the end of the demonstration to clarify explanations.

Students will take Cornell-style notes during lectures.
