Of course it is :) It's nice-nicer-nicest. And remember-there's no such thing as a real word.. If a word is used and people understand it, then it is just as real â¦ as any word in any dictionary, or any word approved by your English teacher!
In British English, the term drive shaft is restricted to a transverse shaft that transmits power to the wheels, especially the front wheels. A drive shaft connecting the gearbox to a rear differential is called a propeller shaft, or prop-shaft. A prop-shaft assembly consists of a propeller shaft, a slip joint and one or more universal joints.
To change gears with a manual transmission, drivers must depress a third pedal that controls the vehicleâs clutch, the mechanical device connecting the carâs engine to the gearbox. By doing so, the driver temporarily disconnects the engine from the transmission during which time the driver is able to shift gears up or down using the gearstick.
