Where is the vehicle transmission located?
1 Answers
Vehicle transmission location varies depending on different vehicle models and drive configurations. Generally, the transmission is located in the engine compartment, connected to the engine. Some are positioned beneath the central gear lever in the front row of the vehicle. For front-wheel drive vehicles, the transmission is in front of the engine, while for rear-wheel drive vehicles, it's behind the engine. Transmissions are divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving gear ratio changes through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT) comprise torque converters, planetary gears, hydraulic torque variation systems, and hydraulic control systems, utilizing hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations to achieve speed and torque conversion.
