  • 1941 Buick Roadmaster Sedan from North Carolina by Earl D

    1941 Buick Roadmaster Sedan from North Carolina by Earl D

    The Story of our 1941 Buick Roadmaster sedan from North Carolina By Earl D. Beauchamp, Jr. If I had to go back to the very beginning, it would be 1952 when I was 14 years old. That is when I first became virally interested in old cars. Now old cars, to me, were the years I remembered during my short lifetime, which was the 1930s and 1940s. Most of the books and magazines of the time, specifically MOTOR TREND, dealt with cars specified as “Classic Cars”, as defined by the fledgling Classic Car Club of America (CCCA). I religiously read Robert Gottlieb’s monthly column called “Classic Comments”. Around 1953 Mr. Gottlieb wrote and published a book called “Classic Cars”. I believe it was in that book where he made the statement that “no Buick was ever a “Classic Car” or something to that effect. Well, my family was a Buick family, or had been until hard times caused my parents to trade their 1939 Buick in on a 1951 Plymouth (in 1958 they went back to Buick for the rest of their lives). That statement by Mr. Gottlieb stuck in my young craw, and I never got over it. In 1955 I was allowed to get my first car, and it was a 1939 Buick Special sedan optionalized with dual sidemount fenders and a full pleated leather interior. It had belonged to a family friend. Now, I was convinced this car had to be a “Full Classic” and I wrote to Mr. Gottlieb and asked him. Then, in 1956 he wrote a second book called “Classics and Special Interest Cars.” Although he never answered my letter; in that book he mentioned a car like mine and said it was not a “Classic” but would be considered a “Special Interest Car”.

  • Genesee and General Motors' Outsourcing

    Genesee and General Motors' Outsourcing

    New Automotive Markets: Genesee and General Motors' Outsourcing Prepared by: Michael S. Flynn and David J. Andrea of the Office for the Study of Automotive Transportation Transportation Research Institute The University of Michigan January 1990 Under a Sub-contract from the Industrial Technology Institute for a Contract from The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction This report seeks to identify potential market opportunities for Genesee County within the automotive economy, but external to General Motors. Through a combination of interview, survey, and archival data, it identifies product markets with three characteristics. First, demand from suppliers is likely to increase due to increased sourcing rather than manufacturing by the automotive assemblers. Second, capacity levels in the independent supplier sector are unlikely to be adequate to meet those demands. Third, the skills and product-experience of the GM labor force in Genesee constitute an available, trained workforce. The report also identifies companies, including domestic and transplant suppliers, that are likely beneficiaries of the increased outsourcing by the manufacturers; are likely to be capacity- constrained; and are likely to seek new locations. The ultimate goal of the study is to provide some direction to Genesee's efforts to find near-term replacement activity and jobs for expected losses at General Motors. The strategy reflects a recognition that Genesee's immediate attractions are its location with respect to the automotive facilities of the manufacturers, and a workforce both acclimated to the industrial culture of the automotive industry and experienced and skilled in its work requirements. In the final analysis, Genesee must diversify away from its heavy reliance on the automotive economy, but diversification within that economy is an important step, both to alleviate the impacts of the coming losses at GM and to achieve a diversified economy.

    SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING SAU1301 AUTOMOTIVE CHASSIS 1 UNIT I - INTRODUCTION 2 Unit-1 1. Introduction: ➢ The power developed inside the engine cylinder is ultimately transmitted to the driving wheels so that the motor vehicle can move on the road. This mechanism is called power transmission. ➢ It consists of clutch, gearbox, universal joint, propeller shaft, final drive, and axle shaft. General arrangement of power transmission system (or) front engine rear wheel drive: ➢ Fig (1) shows that layout of the front engine rear wheel drive. 3 ➢ Power is produced i n s i d e the engine cylinder transmitted to flywheel through crankshaft. ➢ Clutch is conduct with flywheel to engage and disengage drive from the engine to gearbox. ➢ Gearbox consists of s set of gears to change the speed. ➢ The power is transmitted from the gearbox to the propeller shaft through the universal joint and then to the differential through another universal joint. ➢ Finally, the power is transmitted to the rear wheels through the rear axles. Front engine front wheel drives: Fig (2): shows that layout of the front engine front wheel drive. ➢ In this drive the clutch, gear box, differential is arranged in a common housing. ➢ In this arrangement there is no need of separate long propeller shaft for transmitting power to the rear wheels. ➢ Because the engine power is transmitted only for front wheels alone. ➢ Rear axle is dead axles, when front wheels are rolling with power and rear wheels are freely move in the direction of front wheels. 4 Rear Engine rear wheel drive: Fig (3): shows that layout of the rear engine front wheel drive.

    Condition/Concern Recommendation/Instructions

    Bulletin No.: PIP5170 Date: Jan-2014 Subject: Driveline Support Torque Tube Automatic Transmission Noise Diagnostic Tip Models: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Equipped with automatic transmission The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI. Condition/Concern Noise from transmission or driveline. Recommendation/Instructions When diagnosing any noise that may be coming from either the torque tube or automatic transmission do not remove the torque converter bolts to aid in determining root case. The torque converter cannot be moved away from the torque tube far enough to disengage the torque converter pilot from the torque tube. Removal of these bolts and starting the engine will cause the torque converter pilot and propeller shaft transmission flange to become fused together requiring replacement of the torque converter, flex plate and torque tube assembly. The torque converter and the rear flex plate bolts will also need to be replaced. Note: Actively increasing the line pressure with GDS2 software may aid in determining if root cause of the noise is in the transmission or torque tube. Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely.
