What is a Car
Transmission?

A car transmission is that part of the vehicle that transfers or transmits the rotational power generated by the engine to the car’s wheels. It cannot get any simpler than that. Unfortunately, like the way car engines work, there are a lot of things that are occurring all at the same time in this process of transmitting the energy from the engine to the wheel. And we are going to go through them one by one so you’ll have a better grasp at just how car transmissions work,
regardless of their type.

Technically, the gearbox is dependent on the power supplied by the engine. No power means it won’t be able to transmit anything to the wheel. The problem is that the power generated by the internal combustion engine is quite dependent on engine speed. Power, in this case, is the usable energy or torque that can be effectively transmitted to the drivetrain. The major issue is not so much about whether there is torque or not but rather whether it is produced within a predefined engine speed or not. This range of engine speed is a requirement for producing the optimum amount of torque. The other problem is that cars typically require torque that is quite different from what the engine can produce in an optimal manner.

Parts of a Car’s
Transmission

Like the car engine, the transmission is composed of quite a number of parts. We have already touched on a few of them. The gearbox is actually the most complicated component of any modern-day automobile. This is especially true for automatic trannies where you don’t only have mechanical systems in the mix, you also have computer controls, electrical systems, and hydraulic systems, all working together to bring the right amount of power to the wheels without sacrificing engine integrity. However, regardless of the type of gearbox, they will always be composed of the following parts.
