Understanding Different Types of Car Transmissions
Choosing the right transmission impacts your driving experience. Here’s a quick overview:
1️⃣ Manual Transmission: Offers full control, with drivers manually shifting gears using a clutch pedal and gear stick.
2️⃣ Automatic Transmission: Shifts gears automatically, providing a smooth, easy driving experience using a torque converter.
3️⃣ Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): Uses belts and pulleys instead of gears, delivering seamless power and efficiency.
4️⃣ Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT): Utilizes two clutches for fast, smooth gear shifts, often found in performance vehicles.
5️⃣ Sequential Manual Transmission: Allows sequential gear shifting (up/down) using paddles or a shifter, common in race cars.
6️⃣ Automated Manual Transmission (AMT): Combines manual mechanics with automation for ease and efficiency.
