Why Would a Transmission Fail?
1 Answers
Transmission failure can occur due to: 1. Quality issues with the gears themselves; 2. Poor driving habits; 3. Incorrect oil type leading to excessive gear wear. A transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts, also known as a gearbox. The functions of a transmission are: 1. Changing the gear ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations in the drive wheels; 2. Enabling the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotational direction; 3. Utilizing neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifts or power output.
