Automotive Transmissions

In a vehicle, the transmission (or gearbox) is the vital mechanical system that takes the power generated by your engine and transfers it to the wheels. It uses a set of gears to continuously adjust the balance of speed and torque.

• Manual: Requires the driver to manually shift gears using a clutch pedal and gear stick.
• Automatic: Uses sensors, fluid pressure, and a torque converter to shift gears automatically based on your speed and acceleration.
• CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission): Provides an infinite range of gear ratios rather than fixed gears, maximizing engine efficiency.
