What are the functions of a transmission?
1 Answers
An automotive transmission is a set of speed-changing devices with the following functions: 1. Coordinating the engine's speed with the actual driving speed of the wheels. By altering the gear ratio, the transmission adjusts the vehicle's speed and the torque delivered to the drive wheels, ensuring the engine operates under optimal conditions. 2. Maximizing engine performance. During vehicle operation, the transmission creates varying speed ratios between the engine and wheels. It can disengage power output when the clutch is engaged or when placed in neutral gear, allowing drivers to leave their seats without shutting off the engine. This power interruption function is also essential during engine startup, gear shifting, or when stopping the vehicle.
