Transmission (mechanics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Automatic transmissions have always been extremely popular in the United States, where perhaps 19 of 20 new cars are sold with them (most vehicles are not available with manual gearboxes anymore). In the past, automatic transmissions of this type have had a number of problems, they were complex and expensive, and sometimes had reliability problems (which sometimes caused more expense in repair), and often have been less fuel-efficient than their manual counterparts. Manual transmissions come in two basic types: a simple unsynchronized system where gears are spinning freely and must be synchronized by the operator to avoid noisy and damaging "gear clash", and synchronized systems that will automatically "mesh" while changing gears. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Transmission_(mechanics)   (1673 words)

Automatic Transmissions: What Makes Them Work Gear shifting in an automatic transmission is very similar to the action taken while riding your mountain bike -- except that a series of valves, sensors, and other components take the place of your brain, deciding when to upshift and downshift to a larger or smaller gear. The key to the modern automatic transmission is the torque converter. The transmission is connected to the wheels via an output shaft, which meshes to the axles in a variety of ways, depending on your car's design. www.edmunds.com /ownership/techcenter/articles/43836/article.html   (1759 words)

hycwgears.htm Manual Transmission (4, 5 and 6 speed), Automatic Transmission (3, 4 and 5 speed) and Semi-Automatic Transmission.

The Hy-Drive automatic transmission Advertised as the transmission for those who wanted the ease of automatic driving yet the ability to select their own gears, it really was just a stop-gap measure to mark time until the new fully automatic Powerflite would become available during the 1954 model year. Since the buying public was clamoring for automatic transmissions, Plymouth tried to make the "Hy-Drive" look as "automatic" as possible by placing an indicator quadrant on the steering column, even though the lever still shifted in the normal H-pattern. Granted the intervals were once every six months, but still it was a bother and required that the transmission and engine be drained separately, although you filled the whole thing through the engine filler tube. www.allpar.com /mopar/hydrive.html   (803 words)

Engineering efforts aimed at easier driving included a low cost alternative to Fluid Drive This transmission was a good try at greater driving convenience, but it still was not fully automatic, something Chrysler wouldn't be able to advertise until 1954. The servo would "automatically" shift from first to second gear or from third to fourth, but moving between Low range (1-2) and High range (3-4) still required use of the clutch pedal and shift lever. This new transmission was similar to initial versions of GM's "Hydra-Matic", though it did not provide totally "clutchless" shifting. www.imperialclub.com /~imperialclub/Repair/Transmission/vacamatic.htm   (379 words)

vol5-4.doc By the early 1950’s all of the Big Three had automatic transmissions in all of their cars-from the cheapest to the most expensive. However, all of these automatic transmissions had one failing-they all required relatively powerful engines-even the “low price” models had engines of over 100 horsepower. The thing that made the electric transmission so desirable in Europe was that it did not require a powerful engine and produced fuel economy almost equal to a manual transmission. www.charm.net /~pdbragg/whatsahillman/vol5-4.doc   (2715 words)
