Resumen:
Mechanical failures in vehicles are perhaps higher incidence situations, depending on its magnitude it can cause considerable economic costs, including loss of life.
The present project is about repairing a gearbox and the development of a preventive maintenance plan of the same, given that the car in which the project is located does not have a formal maintenance plan, besides the little knowledge and lack of commitment of people on the issue of risk of accident.
The aim of this paper is to provide vehicle owners and mechanics, the necessary knowledge and procedures that needs to be followed when a mechanical failure occurs.
It will be performed an analysis of mechanical failure that the gearbox has in which this project will develop on, and especially the respective calculations of the transmission.
This study seeks to eliminate or reduce costs for lack of maintenance, by analyzing the different factors that occur in the future and which they are exposed components of a vehicle; as well as leaving and establishing a framework of time and previous maintenance check.
