Study Notes
Transmission Technologies
- Semi-automatic transmission combines features of both manual and automatic transmissions.
Manual Transmission
- The clutch allows the engine to continue running while the transmission is shifted, disconnecting the engine from the transmission.
Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT)
- The main advantage of DCT over traditional automatic transmissions is its faster shifting speed.
- DCT is distinguishable from traditional automatic transmission by its use of two clutches to pre-select the next gear.
Transmission Operation
- Reverse gear allows the vehicle to move backwards.
4-Wheel Drive (4WD) Vehicles
- The transfer case allows power to be distributed to all four wheels.
- The purpose of the transfer case is to transmit power to the front and rear axles.
Torque Vectoring Transmission
- The main advantage of Torque Vectoring Transmission is its ability to dynamically distribute torque between wheels.
Clutch Components
- The clutch diaphragm spring applies pressure to the clutch pressure plate, allowing the clutch to engage and disengage.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
- CVT is characterized by an infinite number of gear ratios, allowing for seamless acceleration.
