Where is the transmission located in a car?
1 Answers
The transmission is located next to the car's engine. There are two types of transmissions: manual and automatic. A manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. An automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variation through hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations. The transmission is a crucial component in a vehicle, capable of changing the transmission ratio and expanding the torque and speed of the drive wheels. With the advancement of modern technology, transmissions have also been upgraded, evolving from the initial manual transmissions to today's continuously variable transmissions (CVT), and from non-synchronized to synchronized transmissions, making operation increasingly convenient.
