Power Transmission System

From the 1927 Chrysler Imperial 80 Instruction Book

Single dry plate clutch construction, release bearing lubrication and the adjustment sequence for the stop screw, release fork and release levers, with removal and installation of the clutch. The three-speed transmission and gearshift lock, trunnion universal joints and semi-floating spiral bevel rear axle follow, with pinion, differential and axle shaft bearing adjustments. Front axle, wheel alignment and tie rod adjustment, front wheel bearings and balancing, tire pressures, drag link springs, rubber-mounted chassis springs and the cam-and-lever steering gear adjustments close the chapter.
