Is the AMT Transmission Good?
1 Answers
AMT transmissions are characterized by high efficiency, low cost, and a simple structure. They offer excellent fuel economy and power performance, along with smooth starts and rapid shifting capabilities. Below is a detailed introduction to AMT transmissions: 1. Classification: Based on different working principles, there are currently four common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: hydraulic automatic transmissions, mechanical continuously variable transmissions, electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmissions, and dual-clutch automatic transmissions. 2. Working Principle: The working principle involves modifying the original mechanical transmission, primarily altering the manual shifting mechanism. Without changing the overall transmission structure, an automated shifting system controlled by a microcomputer is added to achieve automated gear changes. Therefore, an AMT essentially uses a computer to control a robotic system that performs the two actions of operating the clutch and selecting gears. The core technology of AMT lies in microcomputer control, where electronic technology and quality directly determine the performance and operational quality of the AMT.
