Chapter 38, Problem 5ASRQ
Technician A says that if a single idler gear is used to obtain reverse gear, its size and number of teeth must be used to calculate gear ratios. Technician B says that an idler gear is often used for reverse gear because it causes the output shaft to rotate in the reverse direction of the input shaft. Who is correct?
a. Technician A only
b. Technician B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B

Kindly answer correctly. Show all the necessary steps
When discussing the various gear positions of a transfer case, Technician A says that when the transfer case is in low, the overall gear ratio is numerically increased. Technician B says that when the transfer case is in the high position, the vehicle operates in an overdrive mode due to the decrease in torque multiplication. Who is correct?
