Is the Transmission the Same as the Engine?
1 Answers
Transmission is not the engine. The transmission is the transmission, and the engine is the engine—they are two completely different machines. Engine cylinders can be single-cylinder, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 cylinders, etc.; transmissions are divided into manual and automatic types. The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, determining its performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental impact. Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems, among others. The transmission mainly refers to the vehicle's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. A manual transmission primarily consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variations through different gear combinations.
