Best Answer

The crankshaft and driveplate have an "offset" bolt pattern. If you look at both youll see the bolt pattern is misaligned intentionally so as the driveplate can only go on there one way.

What connects directly to the internal combustine engine in an automobile?

A typical drive train (rear wheel drive) : Crankshaft > clutch > gearbox > prop shaft > differential > drive wheels.


What is a function of the clutch in the vehicle?

The purpose of a clutch on a vehicle is to disconnect the drive of the engine from the gearbox (this would be required when the vehicle is stationary or to change gear). While the engine is running the crankshaft is continually turning, It is the crankshaft that turns the gearbox and via the gearbox the road wheels. Obviously there are times when the engine is running but drive is not required, The clutch is the mechanism by which this is achieved.


Where is the crankshaft on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee?

Generally speaking the crankshaft is located deep within the engine. The pistons are connected to the crankshaft and it is the device that turns the up and down motion of the pistons into a horizontal motion that drives the transmission and in turn the drive shafts that turn the wheels. If you ever have an opportunity to see your crankshaft that means your engine has been torn completely apart for a major overhaul.

Where is the crankshaft located on a 1995 neon?

Inside the lower part of the engine. The pistons are connected to the crankshaft by way of connecting rods. The crankshaft is what turns the flywheel, torque converter, transmission, and ultimately the drive wheels. Look of the top of the transmission bellhousing. Sorry, I thought you meant crank sensor. It is that main shaft the runs through the bottom of the engine block from the front to the back of the engine, and is connected to the pistons. You cannot see the crankshaft without taking the engine apart, but you can see the crankshaft pulley, which is the pulley that attaches to the front end of the crankshaft, and drives the serpentine belt, which drives all the accessories, like the alternator, power steering pump, etc. The crankshaft pulley is the very bottom pulley, when you look at the front of the engine.


What is the difference between a serpentine drive belt and a cam belt?

The serpentine drive belt is on the outside of the engine and is used to drive the accessories ( such as air conditioning compressor , power steering etcetera ) The cam belt ( timing belt ) is protected by a plastic cover and connects the engine crankshaft with the engine camshaft or camshafts
