Roanoke Transmission – Specialize in Transmission Repair
It’s complicated! Life, relationship, your job, your house, your car, its transmission.
“Power from the engine drive the pistons. These pistons, in turn, drive the crankshaft which drives the flywheel” Flywheel, clutching mechanism, gearbox input shaft, main shaft, layshaft, dog clutch, the differential etc.
AND THAT’S JUST FOR MANUAL CARS!!!
At RepairMyTranasmission.com we’re about keeping things simple.
So here goes …
The engine sends power to the transmission which then powers the drive wheels.
The transmission is the ‘bit in the middle’ controlling the speed and torque.
All this is very finely synchronized.
Think of it like cogs all interconnected driving one another. The cogs being the gears and the engine is what turns the cogs.
Or if clutching mechanism, gearbox input shaft, main shaft, etc, makes your head hurt just thinking of it as the ‘bit in the middle’ between the engine and the wheels.
Types of Transmissions
Car transmissions work differently for Manual the Automatic cars.
Manual
On a manual car, the transmission connects to the engine through the clutch. Pressing the clutch disconnects, and releasing the clutch connects, the engine and transmission.
Automatics
Automatics don’t have a clutch or sticky. They’re just very clever. Let’s just leave it at that.
Trust us you don’t want to hear all about torque converters, “planetary” arrangement, “sun” gear, “planet carrier” or “carrier” that holds multiple planet gears, “ring” gear, etc.
