What are the classifications and characteristics of transmissions?
1 Answers
Transmission classifications: manual transmission, automatic transmission, automated manual transmission, continuously variable transmission. Specific introductions are as follows: Manual Transmission: When shifting gears with a manual transmission, it is necessary to depress the clutch, then move the gear lever, and finally release the clutch to complete the gear shift. Automatic Transmission: A good automatic transmission shifts sensitively with reasonable logic, achieving excellent fuel consumption results. Compared to manual transmissions, automatic transmissions are more convenient to operate, generally requiring no gear changes while driving. However, there is a loss in transmission efficiency, resulting in higher fuel consumption than manual transmissions. Automated Manual Transmission: An automated manual transmission is essentially a manual transmission with a control computer added, typically with 5 speeds and lacking D and P gears. Continuously Variable Transmission: A continuously variable transmission can achieve continuous changes in the transmission ratio, thereby achieving the best match between the transmission system and the engine's operating conditions. The advantages are smooth operation, no sense of jerking, and strong driving comfort. The disadvantage is poor torque-bearing capacity and slower response to speed changes.
