It is no doubt that the development of cars has great effect on people’s life as well as on the whole world. With the quick development of the economy, more and more people can afford cars. These vehicles bring a lot of convenience to people. They enable people to decide the time and places they want to go. To some extent, they also have the economic impact on this society.
Cars are so important that they deserve people’s serious study. Except for the application and the operation of them, the important components are also necessary for the drivers to have a basic idea. Among all various kinds of parts, the car transmission is worthy of learning.
The transmission is very essential in the vehicle. Just like cars which may be automatic or manual, there are also automatic transmission and manual transmission in the vehicle. The former is a gearbox that mechanically shifts gear ratios when vehicles get the speed. The four modes are included in this transmission. There are Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive. Vehicles with an automatic transmission have a shift lever to navigate the shift modes. Nowadays, more and more people choose to buy cars with an automatic transmission. It can be handled more easily. Those who can not work well with other components of vehicles such as the clutch and gear shifter are especially fond of cars with automatic transmission because they can bring more convenience to the drivers. And the latter one requires drivers to drive cars manually. Cars with the manual transmission require drivers to shift gears manually with a gear shifter and a clutch which is a pedal on the left side of the brake pedal. When the driver shifts gears, he/she must press down on the clutch. If drivers do not familiar with the operation of the clutch and the gear shifter, it will be very difficult for them to handle the car very well.
Like many other components, the transmission may have many problems, too. But there are signs of failure to which drivers must pay attention. For example, one sign of the transmission problems is that the vehicle does not move, or there is a delayed movement when gears are shifted into “Drive” or “Reverse.” Under this situation, the transmission may slip out of gear, and the delaying acceleration is a common sign of transmission wear and tear.
Obviously, the transmission is one of the most complicated mechanical components in the automobiles. Therefore, it is quite important to note the signs of transmission problems so as to avoid its failure. Moreover, this can also enable the drivers to avoid costly repair.
