What is the difference between AMT and AT transmissions?

[KateLee]

The differences between AMT and AT transmissions are as follows: 1. Structure: AT transmissions consist of components such as the valve body, oil pump, clutch, brake, one-way clutch, diaphragm spring, elastic retaining ring, steel plates, friction plates, large sun gear, small sun gear, planetary carrier, and ring gear. AMT transmissions are essentially manual transmissions with automatic clutch and gear-shifting control functions, and their structure is fundamentally the same as traditional parallel-shaft manual transmissions. 2. Function: AT transmissions provide smooth gear shifts with minimal or no impact, especially in low-speed stop-and-go conditions, offering outstanding comfort. AMT transmissions, on the other hand, have relatively larger shift impacts (though advancements in electronic control technology have made gear shifts and timing more precise, reducing the impact). They are simple in structure, highly reliable, and easy to maintain.
