Choosing the right transmission can make a huge difference in your driving experience. Here’s a quick breakdown of the various types:
1️⃣ Manual Transmission
Drivers shift gears manually using a clutch pedal and gear stick. The clutch disengages the engine, allowing smooth gear changes. Perfect for those who love full control over their vehicle!
2️⃣ Automatic Transmission
This system changes gears automatically, offering a hassle-free driving experience. It uses a torque converter to adjust the engine’s RPM, transmitting power seamlessly to the wheels.
3️⃣ Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
A CVT has no gears! Instead, it uses belts and pulleys controlled by sensors and an onboard computer, ensuring smooth and efficient driving.
4️⃣ Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)
Also known as DSG, this system uses two clutches to handle odd and even gears separately. It minimizes power loss and provides quicker, smoother gear shifts.
5️⃣ Sequential Manual Transmission
This type allows drivers to shift gears in sequence (up or down) using paddles or a shifter. It’s commonly found in race cars for its speed and precision.
6️⃣ Automated Manual Transmission (AMT)
AMT combines manual transmission mechanics with automation, using an ECU and actuators to handle gear changes, making it user-friendly yet efficient.
