There are several types of transmissions

Pacific Automotive Network 1. manual transmission, also known as manual gear. 2. automatic transmission, automatic transmission commonly used in automobiles have the following types, hydraulic automatic transmission, hydraulic transmission automatic transmission, electric transmission automatic transmission, graded mechanical automatic transmission and stepless mechanical automatic transmission and so on.

There are four types of automobile transmissions;

1. Manual transmissions, also known as manual gears; if the driver's skills are excellent, the car equipped with a manual transmission will accelerate and overtake faster than an automatic transmission model, while also having an advantage in fuel economy.

2. Automatic transmissions, automobiles commonly used in automatic transmissions have the following types: hydraulic automatic transmission, hydraulic transmission automatic transmission, electric transmission automatic transmission, graded mechanical automatic transmission and stepless mechanical automatic transmission. Among them, the most common is the hydraulic automatic transmission; it is able to shift gears automatically according to the changes of the gas pedal and vehicle speed.

3. Manual/automatic integrated transmission; it can make high-performance sports cars do not have to be limited by the traditional automatic gear restraints, so that drivers can also enjoy the fun of manual gear shifting. This type of transmission in its gears with "+", "-" gears. In D, you can freely change downshifts (-) or upshifts (+), just like in a manual.

4. Continuously variable transmission (CVT), is composed of two sets of variable speed wheel disk and a drive belt. So, it is simpler and smaller than the traditional automatic transmission.

Additionally, it can freely change the transmission ratio, so as to realize the whole stepless speed change, so that the speed of the car changes smoothly, without the impact of the traditional transmission shift feeling. CVT belongs to one kind of automatic transmission, but it can overcome the shortcomings of ordinary automatic transmission such as shift shock, slow throttle response and high fuel consumption.

Automotive transmission, is a set of gears used to coordinate the speed of the engine and the actual speed of the wheels, used to play the best performance of the engine. The transmission can produce different gear ratios between the engine and the wheels while the car is in motion. By shifting gears, the engine can be made to work at its optimum power performance. The development trend of transmission is more and more complex, the degree of automation is also higher, automatic transmission will be the mainstream of the future.
