Throughout this site we use many technical terms, and given the breadth of readership our site enjoys, sometimes we are remiss and incorrectly assume everyone knows what we are referring to. For those that do not, here are some explanations of the technical terms use. |
Free-Wheel
A type of clutch or coupling which transmits torque only in one direction, so permitting the driven member to over-run the driving member. Used as a refinement in the transmission line of Rovers in former years, permitting the engine to slow-run while the vehicle coasted down gradients so contributing to fuel economy and to allow clutchless gear changes.
