What is the assembly of a transmission?
2 Answers
The assembly of a transmission is the transmission itself. The transmission mainly refers to the car's transmission: Transmissions are divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Composition of a transmission: A transmission consists of two parts: the transmission mechanism and the transmission control mechanism. The main function of the transmission mechanism is to change the value and direction of torque and speed; the main function of the control mechanism is to control the transmission mechanism to achieve the transformation of the transmission ratio, that is, to achieve gear shifting for speed and torque variation. Among them, a manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations; an automatic transmission is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system. Speed and torque variation are achieved through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
As someone who commutes by car every day, the transmission assembly is that magical gear-shifting box in my car that delivers the engine's power to the wheels in various ways. It contains gear sets, input and output shafts, a clutch or torque converter—all assembled within a housing to form the unit, making installation and maintenance easier. When driving a manual, I press the clutch to shift gears, while an automatic transmission handles gear changes smoothly, though maintenance costs are higher. A friend's car once had a transmission failure, leaving it stranded on the road until towed to a shop for a full assembly replacement, costing thousands. In daily driving, a good transmission saves fuel and enhances safety. Regular checks of fluid levels and timely oil changes are recommended, along with avoiding sudden acceleration, to extend its lifespan beyond 100,000 miles.
