What is the difference between a 6AT transmission and an 8AT transmission?
1 Answers
The difference between a 6AT transmission and an 8AT transmission lies in the number of gears: a 6AT transmission has 6 forward gears, while an 8AT transmission has 8 forward gears. The functions of a transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio and expand the range of torque and speed variations of the drive wheels; 2. To enable the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the same engine rotation direction; 3. To use neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifting or power output. Transmissions are divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variations through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variations through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
