What are the main functions of the transmission system?
1 Answers
The main function of the transmission system is to transmit the power generated by the engine to the driving wheels of the vehicle, thereby generating driving force and enabling the car to travel at a certain speed. The transmission system generally consists of components such as the clutch, gearbox, universal joint transmission device, final drive, differential, and half-shaft. For front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the torque generated by the engine is sequentially transmitted through the clutch, gearbox, universal joint, drive shaft, final drive, differential, and half-shaft to the rear wheels, which is why the rear wheels are also referred to as the driving wheels. Compared to manual transmissions, the structure and operation of the transmission system differ significantly.
