Which consequence follows from fitting a new pinion to an old crown wheel?

  • A.A change in the final drive ratio, which alters the road speed obtained for a given speed of the engine
  • B.Immediate noise and rapid wear
  • C.No consequence, provided that the tooth contact pattern is set correctly during the assembly of the components
  • D.Improved efficiency

Answer: B

The lapped surfaces are matched to one another, so an unmatched pair has an incorrect contact pattern that no adjustment can fully correct. Noise and rapid wear follow. This is why the matched numbers stamped on the components must be checked. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
