Where is the car's transmission located?

[EllaLee]

The location of a car's transmission depends on the specific model and drivetrain configuration. Some transmissions are located in the engine compartment, connected to the engine, while others are positioned beneath the central gear lever in the front row of the vehicle. The transmission isn't visible when opening the front hood; you'll need to lift the vehicle and remove the protective panel on the front undercarriage to see it clearly. Car transmissions are divided into two types: manual and automatic. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, using different gear combinations to achieve speed and torque variation. Automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, utilizing hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations to achieve speed and torque variation.
