WHAT IS A TRANSMISSION AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

A car's transmission is among the most crucial elements of a car. It's the mechanism that transfers the motor's power to wheels.

There are many automobile transmissions. Some are automated, while manual transmissions found in stick-shift vehicles need the driver to follow additional steps to allow the car to work effectively.

If you've been wondering the workings of a transmission it is a different process depending on the kind of transmission. No matter what kind of transmission you have it is the solution to what a transmission does is to permit the gear ratio between drive wheels and the engine to be adjusted as the car is slowed down or speeded up.

If a vehicle stops at a stop, the transmission disengages it from its drive wheel, so that the engine transmission will remain running even in the event that the wheel isn't being used. Transmissions also allow quick acceleration after stopping and let the engine be run at a slower speed to reduce wear when the vehicle is moving at a constant speed.
