What is the difference between AMT and AT?
1 Answers
AMT and AT differ in their operation methods: AMT is a transmission with automatic clutch control and gear shifting functions, equipped with a clutch; AT has a torque converter and does not require a clutch. Both AMT and AT belong to automatic transmissions, which are devices that automatically shift gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to manual transmissions. Automatic transmissions consist of a torque converter, planetary gears, and hydraulic controls, and are categorized into: 1. Hydraulic automatic transmission; 2. Mechanical continuously variable automatic transmission; 3. Electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission; 4. Dual-clutch automatic transmission.
