What are the components of a transmission device?

1. The universal transmission device generally consists of universal joints, drive shafts, and intermediate supports. Here are some additional details: 2. Universal transmission devices can be found everywhere in automobiles, such as the steering column under the steering wheel, wheel half-shafts, and the drive shafts of rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicles. 3. The universal transmission device can transmit power, which is very important for automobiles. 4. The drive shafts of transmission devices need to undergo dynamic balance testing. Without dynamic balance testing, vibrations and noise may occur during high-speed rotation, which can affect the normal operation of the vehicle. If the drive shaft vibrates or makes abnormal noises, it is mostly due to dynamic balance issues.
The transmission system in a car is divided into several main parts. From my driving experience, the gearbox is the core component, including the manual type, which requires stepping on the clutch and shifting gears manually—simple and durable; automatic types like the traditional AT, which shifts gears on its own but consumes more fuel; the CVT type, which has no fixed gears and provides a smoother ride; and the dual-clutch DCT, which shifts quickly and is common in sports cars. Then there are the driving components, such as the drive shaft, which transmits power to the wheels, and the differential, which adjusts the speed of the left and right wheels during turns to prevent wear. In four-wheel-drive or SUVs, there is also a transfer case to distribute power to the front and rear wheels. When choosing a car, considering these factors can help you navigate city traffic more easily or ensure reliability on mountain roads. I recommend beginners start with an automatic transmission to gradually adapt.
