What is the difference between MT and AT in cars?
1 Answers
Transmission types are different; AT stands for automatic transmission, while MT stands for manual transmission. The following is a related introduction to transmissions: 1. Automatic transmission is a type of gear-shifting device that can automatically change gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to manual transmission. 2. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions in cars: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission. Hydraulic automatic transmission achieves automatic shifting through a combination of hydraulic drive and planetary gears, typically consisting of a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift actuators, shift control system, and shift operation mechanism. 3. Depending on the drive method, they can also be divided into front-engine rear-wheel drive and front-engine front-wheel drive types. AT does not require a clutch to shift gears, has fewer gear changes with larger variations, and provides smooth connection.
