Which is More Important, the Engine or the Transmission?
1 Answers
The transmission is more important. The following are the introductions to the engine and transmission: 1. Introduction to the engine: The engine was first developed in the UK. It is a machine that converts kinetic energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine typically converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. The engine is applicable not only as a power generation device but also as the entire machine of the power unit. 2. Introduction to the transmission: The transmission refers to the vehicle's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. A manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. On the other hand, an automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system. It achieves speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
