Can the transmission side cover be damaged while driving?
1 Answers
Vehicle driving will not damage the transmission side cover, but if the transmission side cover hits a road protrusion while driving, it may cause damage. The transmission, also known as the gearbox, is an automotive component used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, and can fix or change the gear ratio between the output shaft and input shaft. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and an operating mechanism, with some vehicles also having a power output mechanism. It can be categorized into stepped, continuously variable, and integrated transmissions, featuring functions such as enabling reverse driving, interrupting power transmission, and changing gear ratios. The transmission is a crucial component in vehicles, capable of altering the gear ratio and expanding the driving wheel's torque and rotational speed.
