All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:
A) a standard differential allows one wheel to rotate if it begins to slip.
B) a limited slip differential locks the spider gears when one wheel starts to lose traction.
C) if there are 10 teeth on the pinion gear and 33 teeth on the ring gear, the ratio is 5.30:1.
D) when torque is applied to the clutch pack, the side gear locks to the case, causing the wheel on that side to be driven.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct gear ratio for a pinion gear with 10 teeth and a ring gear with 33 teeth is calculated by dividing the number of teeth on the ring gear by the number of teeth on the pinion gear, which is 33/10 = 3.30:1, not 5.30:1 as stated.
