The transmission, composition and purpose

The Transmission prednaznachaetsya to transfer the torque from the engine to the drive wheels of the car. The magnitude of the torque changes. In front-wheel drive car are leading the front wheels, the torque comes in rear-wheel drive – to the rear. Machine in which torque uses all four wheels, the AWD.

The Transmission is technically rather multifunctional mechanism, which, in turn, involve more than a small connection. It includes: clutch, gearbox, various joints, the differential, the driveshaft ( which is only used in rear wheel drive cars to connect the rear wheels to the engine). And "grenade" - is equal to the angular joints, they are used only in FWD cars.

The Function of the transmission:

• To transfer the torque from the engine to the drive wheel;
• Changes the direction of the torque and its magnitude;
• Distribution between the wheels of torque.

Transmission of the car nowadays must have high reliability at minimum production costs. Therefore, the requirements to its quality is quite high. Energy transformation transmission are divided into the following types:

- mechanical, serves to transmit and convert torque;

- electrical, turn mechanical energy into electrical energy, advanced it on wheels again goes from electrical to mechanical;

combined, there is electric and hydromechanical energy;

- hydrostatic, with mechanical energy created by the liquid flow, entering the drive wheels, moves on again mechanically.

More used cars manual transmission.

Transmission, changing torque automatically, called "automatic transmission".

The drive wheels can be front, rear, and both.

When using only the front – front-wheel drive car.

When using the back – rear-wheel drive.

The structure of manufacturing of the transmission is different and depends on wheels.

So, understand and hearken to what such transmission before you make your choice.

Rear-drive machine has the following components:

• Transmission;
• Traction.
• Main gear;
• Shaft drive;
• Axis;
• Differential.

The front-wheel of the machine includes:

• Transmission;
• Traction.
• Transfer master;
• Differential;
• Shafts "axle";
• The joints.

In a front wheel drive car the gearbox is a differential gear with the main gear.

Hinges (podvinie connection details) to transmit torque to the wheels with the differential, which are leading. When connecting with the differential is still two hinges. They complete the transfer of torque to the wheels.

Automatic transmission of a car today is more expensive in production, so its development and improvement in the spotlight. This trend of today's world. It is more safe. In urban traffic the driver is less tired.
