How many gears does the BMW e34 transmission have?
1 Answers
BMW e34 has an 8-speed transmission. How the transmission works: The transmission is essentially a gearbox containing multiple gears. The driving gear (connected to the engine via the clutch) receives power from the engine to drive the driven gear (connected to the wheels through the final drive and driveshaft), thereby propelling the wheels. Each gear position corresponds to a pair of driving gears - engaging a specific gear means that particular gear pair connects to transmit power. Automotive transmissions: There are two main types: manual and automatic. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT) comprise a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, utilizing hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations to achieve speed and torque variation.
