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.
In this kind of transmission, a shaft is attached to the torque converter housing where the housing is fixed to the enginefs flywheel. The shaft is then connected by the clutch to the planet carrier. The bigger sun gear is held in place by the overdrive band as the smaller sun gear freewheels.
