There are several kinds of car transmission designs; most drivers have heard of manual and automatic transmission systems. Even within a similar type of transmission, such as automatics, auto makers can opt for a range of designs. At its simplest, a transmission converts the power created by the engine into action by turning gears and causing the wheels to spin on either a front-wheel or rear-wheel transmission design. A vehicle with five gears refers to five gears housed in the gearbox that spin to aid in turning the wheels at various speeds.
The transmission has many components, including the drivetrain, differentials and clutch. You can extend your transmission’s lifespan with regular care that includes inspection and replacement of transmission fluid, servicing your vehicle’s cooling system and having the filter in the transmission changed on schedule. If you use your vehicle for towing, you’ll need to give it additional care.
