ABSTRACT:
A transmission testing apparatus having at least one inertia flywheel having a shaft capable of being coupled to the output shaft of the transmission being tested. The transmission is mounted on a removable plate on one side of an adjustable bulkhead supporting an internal combustion engine on the other side. The engine has an output shaft coupled to the input shaft of the transmission. The bulkhead is pivotally and adjustably positionable such as to align the transmission output shaft with the inertia flywheel shaft. The engine is maintained in an appropriate upright normal position providing correct carburetion and lubrication by being supported by a mounting plate rotatable relative to the bulkhead and held in substantially the same angular position relative to horizontal and vertical reference axes, irrespective of the position of the bulkhead, by a strut pivotally attached to the engine mounting plate at one end and pivotally attached to the support base of the apparatus at its other end. Alternatively, the bulkhead is supported by pivotable legs forming a deformable parallelogram, with the result that the engine is held in substantially the same angular position irrespective of the position of the bulkhead.
