Vehicle Maintenance - Transmission & Electrical Principles

Set of two PowerPoints made for Level 1 Vehicle Maintenance and Repair course - The first covers Transmission / Driveline . There are 60 slides in total and makes use of the animations that PowerPoint offers. This lesson follows on from the engine lessons I have made, and introduces the transmission. It covers the gearbox, torque multiplication and final drive as well as the individual components and lubricnts involved that make up a typical vehicle drivetrain.

The second has 34 slides and covers vehicle electrics - introduces some basic vehicle electrical components and what they do before introducing wiring diagrams and simple series and parallel circuits. A simple wiring diagram is looked at with a variety of components including a tyipcal 4-pin relay which is then looked at in more detail.

Be sure to use the slideshow feature or you’ll have a lot of overlapping images.

There are some slides that require answers to be revealed by clicking on the pictures or text - I have pointed these out in the slide comments.

I have also included a worksheet to accompany the lesson that can be printed out for students to complete, or sent to them via e-mail to complete on word.

I taught levels 1 up to 3 of Vehicle Maintenance & Repair at a further education college in the UK for 6 years delivering the IMI vehicle qualifications until Jan 2024 before I moved away from education.

I found the resources available to me when I started pretty poor and didn’t engage the students particularly well, so I made my own set of PowerPoints that cover pretty much all of it so far, so thought i’d share some of them up here and see if there’s any takers. If there is, i’ll put them all up and hopefully they’ll come in useful.

I don’t want to charge a ton for these, but a good few hours go into making these PowerPoints so i’m just getting a little pocket money for my time and hopefully they come in useful for others.
