RWD
- Rear Wheel Drive
RWD
is the abbreviation for Rear Wheel Drive. RWD is usually found
in more sporting or powerful vehicles. To transfer power from
a front mounted engine (and transmission) to the rear wheels,
the transmission is connected to a rearend (located midway
between the rear wheels) by a driveshaft running the length
of the passenger compartment. In the rearend the power from
the driveshaft is split and then transfered to the two rear
wheels by smaller driveshafts or CV joints.
