The fan clutch is a device controlling the engagement of the EC fan. A valve inside the clutch regulates the flow of a special silicon oil. The oil transmits the engine's torque thus, rotating the fan. The fan clutch can be driven by a belt and pulley or directly by the engine when mounted on the engine's crankshaft.

A gear stick (rarely spelled gearstick),[1][2] gear lever (both UK English), gearshift or shifter (both U.S. English), more formally known as a transmission lever, is a metal lever attached to the transmission of an automobile. The term gear stick mostly refers to the shift lever of a manual transmission, while in an automatic transmission, a similar lever is known as a gear selector. A gear stick will normally be used to change gear whilst depressing the clutch pedal with the left foot to disengage the engine from the drivetrain and wheels. Automatic transmission vehicles, including hydraulic (torque converter) automatic transmissions, automated manual and older semi-automatic transmissions (specifically clutchless manuals), like VW Autostick, and those with continuously variable transmissions, do not require a physical clutch pedal.

What Is a Front Wheel Speed Sensor?
There are four different wheel speed sensors mounted at each wheel of modern vehicles. The ones mounted on the front wheels are called front wheel speed sensors. They are located in the hub assembly and, along with the rear sensors, monitor the vehicle's speed and provide the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with the necessary information. The ECU also feeds the safety systems, speedometer, and odometer with this speed data.

What is a wheel bearing? And what does it do in a car? A wheel bearing is a crucial part of the wheel assembly that connects the wheel and the axle. It is a set of steel balls (ball bearings) or tapers (tapered bearings), held together by a metal ring. It enables the wheel to rotate smoothly with a minimum of friction.

These are used to permit rotation of two shafts at different speeds; used on the rear axle of automobiles to allow wheels to rotate at different speeds on curves. These gears have the teeth arranged on a pitch cone along curved lines which enables a smooth operation even at high speed.

Gaskets, in general, are used as sealing and cushioning material, placed between two surfaces and joined by bolts. So, what is an oil gasket? As the definition above suggests, the oil pan gasket seals the area between the oil pan and the engine block to prevent oil leaks and keep oil out of areas it needn’t be. The type of gasket that is in your vehicle will depend on the material of your car’s oil pan. A pressed steel pan, for example, uses a formed rubber gasket while aluminum pans use some form of liquid silicone as a gasket. While the engine is running, oil flows through oil ports to lubricate components within the engine. The oil is housed in the oil pan, connected to the engine’s block, the oil pan gasket is what sits between the two. The seal the gasket creates allows for expansion and contraction from the heat produced by the engine. The cushion the gasket provides prevents damage from occurring due to vibrations the engine creates.

A parking brake, also called an emergency brake or e-brake, is a mechanical hand lever or foot-operated brake that is a backup braking system. It is located either between the front two seats or to the left of your gas and brake pedal. A parking brake controls the rear brakes and is a completely separate device from your vehicle’s regular hydraulic brakes. It is in charge of keeping a parked vehicle stationary; it will prevent the car from rolling down a hill or moving. The emergency brake name comes from the brake’s ability to stop the car if the regular hydraulic brakes totally fail. Parking brakes are completely mechanical and use only cables and levers to operate. When a parking brake lever is pulled (or when a parking brake pedal is pushed), these cables transmit the necessary force to keep your vehicle in place or to stop the vehicle. The steel cables are attached to the parking brake, and when the parking brake is pulled, the steel cables are tightened. Most vehicles have drum brakes on their rear wheels; so, when the parking brake is pulled, the cables will pull a lever that compress the brake shoes to stop the vehicle. If your vehicle has rear disc brakes and you pull the parking brake, then the cables engage a corkscrew device that pushes a piston into the brake pads, which stop the vehicle. In both instances, the parking brake bypasses the regular hydraulic brakes to stop the vehicle. Parking brakes also have a self-locking system, which means that the brake won’t be released unless the lever or foot brake is released.

The air filter in your car filters out dirt and other particles that could cause damage to the engine.
It is part of your car's engine air inlet system.
The air filter in a car is designed to make sure that only clean air enters the engine, and ensures that the optimal amount of clean air mixes with your fuel.
It filters fresh air from outside, before the air can be circulated through your car's engine air inlet system and into the engine.
By cleaning the air coming into the cabin, the air filter can protect you from dust particles, mould spores and other allergens.

A caliper is part of the disc brake system, the type most cars have in their front brakes.
The brake caliper houses your car’s brake pads and pistons. Its job is to slow the car’s wheels by creating friction with the brake rotors.
The brake caliper fits like a clamp on a wheel’s rotor to stop the wheel from turning when you step on the brakes. Inside each caliper is a pair of metal plates known as brake pads.
When you push the brake pedal, brake fluid creates pressure on pistons in the brake caliper, forcing the pads against the brake rotor and slowing your car.
