Transmission System In The Car

Transmission system, in automotive, is a system that works for the conversion of torque and speed (rotation) of the engine torque and speed be different, to be forwarded to the final drives. This conversion changed the high rotational speed will be lower but more powerful, or vice versa. 

Example 5-speed transmission at 4,400 engine rpm 

RPM overdrive gear ratio number on 

shaft out of transmission 

1 3,769 1,167 

2 2,049 2,147 

3 1,457 3,020 

4 1,000 4,400 

5 0838 5251 

The highest torque of an engine generally occurs at about the middle of the permitted engine speed limit, while vehicles requiring high torque at the time began to move. In addition, vehicles that run on roads that climb requires a higher torque than the car is running on a flat road. Vehicles running at low speed requires higher torque than high speed. With the operating conditions vary, so it needed a transmission system to power requirements can be met by a machine.

There are several types of transmissions in vehicles like this

- Manual Transmission

- Semi automatic transmission

- Automatic transmission
