What Does an Automatic Transmission Consist Of?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission consists of five main components: the torque converter, gear mechanism, oil supply system, automatic shift control system, and shift operating mechanism. An automatic transmission is a gear-shifting device that can automatically change gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to a manual transmission. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: hydraulic automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmissions (CVT), electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmissions, and dual-clutch transmissions. The core function of an automatic transmission is to enable automatic gear shifting, meaning that while driving, the driver only needs to operate the accelerator pedal as required, and the transmission will automatically select the appropriate gear based on engine load and the vehicle's operating conditions.
