What is Transmission?
A transmission is a machine in a power transmission system that provides a controlled application of power. Often the term 5-speed transmission refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque block conversions from a rotating power source to another device.
The term transmission properly refers to the whole drivetrain, including clutch, gearbox, prop shaft (for rear-wheel drive vehicles), differential, and final drive shafts.
Different Types of Transmission are
1) Manual Transmission: In this transmission, gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch.
2) Automated Manual Transmission (AMT): It is similar to a manual transmission, except that the sensors and actuators perform the clutch work and shift gears. A car with an AMT does not have a clutch pedal; there's only the accelerator and brake pedal.
3) Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT): it is a manual gearbox with gears and a gear lever that looks exactly similar to any manual gear lever. But the driving experience is more like an automatic car. iMT doesn't have a clutch but a brake and an accelerator pedal.
4) Automatic Transmission (AT): An automatic transmission (AT) is a multi-speed transmission used in motor vehicles that do not require any driver input to change forward gears under normal driving conditions.
5) Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is an automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of gear ratios. This contrasts with other transmissions that provide limited gear ratios in fixed steps.
6) Semi-Automatic Transmission: It is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission where part of its operation is automated (typically the clutch actuation), but the driver's input is still required to launch the vehicle from a standstill and to manually change gears.
7) Dual Clutch Transmission: A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is a multi-speed vehicle transmission system that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets.

Well that and they're quite garbage compared to today's automatic and other transmission. The only thing I can thing of that is worst than manual is a CVT. Which sucks. I rememeber back when this wasn't true at all. And autos couldn't compare to acceleration and gas miles. Now it's backwards. Which is why it's rare. Why make or buy something outdated that makes the car objectively worse

[@aryanv1406]

@@ReformedThe in developing countries like India, Pakistan, Indonesia the automatic cars are still out of the grasp of the normal crowd. They cost much more as compared to a manual transmission as well as are difficult to repair due to the road as well as traffic conditions in these countries where the clutch plate needs to be repaired continuously. Also it's more of a tradition these days, as people still feel more comfortable with the controls in there hand with a more manual touch. So you can say it's a choice with a money factor behind it.

In theory, CVTs have the potential to utterly outperform every other transmission. In practice, they are used as cheapskate fuel saving devices that are built WAY too flimsily for their given applications for road cars. CVT's don't need to be weak and unreliable, heavy machinery has been using them for a long time reliably because they didn't under engineer them.

Well if the belt wouldn't slipping with more than 250hp input power, then every car manufacturer will use them, too bad that CVT cannot even used on a diesel engine due to high torque input curve within lower RPMs.

[@SC-RGX7]

I drove in a CVT once, and well it was the smoothest drive of my life. It's not suited for everyone, but if you only say in areas where roads are adequate and don't need too much performance from your vehicle (urban driving), it's life changing.

[@Psythik]

On the contrary, CVTs are actually ideal for performance because they're always in the most efficient RPM. Efficient doesn't always mean "fuel saving". It can also mean maximum performance possible from the engine. When you're flooring it in a CVT, it stays near redline all the way to its top speed, until you let off the throttle. And as you know, most engines put out their maximum power close to redline. I used to drive a Ford C-Max Hybrid with an eCVT; it only had 200 HP but it could still take off from a standstill faster than my manual 300 HP Genesis Coupe can. Simply because the Genesis has to work it's way up to its maximum power potential, while the C-Max could put its power down instantly. Obviously the Genesis would win in a drag race, but the Hybrid would take off faster and hold the lead for the first few seconds of the race.

[@NBKautoTEST]

I started out driving 4-speed and a 5-speed transmissions in the U.S. Army in 1975. About a decade after I got out it was 8-, 9-, Performance 9-, 10-, Super 10- and 13-speed transmissions for close to 30 years. My favorite was the Super 10. I've also pulled single axle and multi axle trailers weighing as much as 80,000 pounds overall. You don't get to moving fast that heavy and it takes twice as long or longer to stop as a car does. A little something to think about the time you want to cut off a big truck... I've also driven automated transmissions and they made me appreciate a regular manual all the more.

My Acura ILX has a DCT 8-speed with a conventional torque converter.

[@ChannelDiesel]

Manual transmission is probably the best. If for any reason your wheels lose traction, you can put the car into the gear which corresponds to the current speed of the vehicle to reacquire traction even in rainy conditions and take advantage of engine braking to shift the momentum of the vehicle. This makes the transition from accelerating to braking much smoother and helps increase the time between brake pad replacements. You don't ever have to wait for ECUs to realize you wish to overtake and downshift while you have continuous access to max torque. It is more efficient regarding fuel consumption and engine wear while servicing is much cheaper due to the simplicity of the manual system. It is also widely accepted that a simple mechanism will always be more reliable as there are less components liable to fail. It is ideal for keeping the RPM in the most healthy and efficient range and as soon as you learn timing your shifts and performing them quickly, you are rewarded with minimal momentum loss and instant max torque upon upshifting. A turbocharged MT offers a whole different experience compared to an AT one.

[@micdraypr1855]

eh dubious, they're inexpensive IF you are a perfect driver and don't put additional stress on components like riding the clutch, they are factually worse for fuel consumption for most drivers, if you dont shift right you can cause extra wheel spin in slick road conditions

Ever hear of the Chrysler fluid drive transmission? It is, I believe the earliest semi-automatic transmission appearing about 1940. It had a safety clutch which was optional for the driver to use,. These had both a manual gearbox and a torque converter. Shifting from one gear to the next was done be releasing the accelerator briefly, which a loud clunk sound would be heard. This was standard in Chryslers, DeSotos, and Dodges built from 1940 to 1952. The shifter had two forward positions, neutral, and reverse.

DCT is now found in many low cost cars. As you rightly said so, if it fails (including worn out clutch plate), it is too expensive to repair. Likely to replace the whole transmission which cost way too much. In the end, best to replace the car. Make no sense to put DCT into everyday low cost cars. Best keep it to sport cars which require fast gear switching.

Hi I am a new subscriber of yours and am not so familiar with CVT. Based on your discussion, would you say that CVT is less complicated and less expensive to repair than fully automatic transmission?

[@molassascookieman4596]

It just lowers the ratio, gas engines naturally engine brake, so it just has to simulate gearing down to raise the RPMs for stronger braking force. Edit: S is sport, which is not really for braking more for better torque, L is low which is specifically for braking

How do you tell apart the different automatic transmissions by looking at the gearshift arrangement?

[@thunderrazor5040]

On manual transmission: should be able to drive any given transmission, since you are able to use a clutch. Engine brake. Stop a runaway engine by selecting a high gear and dump the clutch. If a starter is broken, you can push it up to speed to turn over the engine(best transmission for this trick). Cons: several wear mistakes like clutch ridning, resting clutch foot and holding the gear selector. Geinding gears and impropper gear selection. Dsg/dct: great fuel economy when operated correctly and are found in a wider selection of cars/vans than you might think. You shouldn't let it engage while stopped uphill since the clutch will wear out fast. Cvt: you can engine brake with it. If anyone can add to this list over missed pros/cons, be my guest.
