Why do manual transmissions require constant gear shifting?
1 Answers
Because each gear in a car's transmission corresponds to a specific speed range, constant gear shifting is necessary. Below is some information about transmissions: 1. Introduction: A transmission, also known as a gearbox, is an automotive component used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, and it can fix or change the gear ratio between the output and input shafts in steps. 2. Principle: A manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations; whereas an automatic transmission is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes via hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
