POSH-TREASURES

This post will make you people familiar with the working of the transmission system in automobiles. The transmission in cars is usually available as manual and automatic. We’ll first see about the manual transmission systems. Transmission systems are very much necessary for any automobile. It basically consists of a set of gears and shafts. A shaft comes from the car’s engine and this has a gear on one end.

There are mainly three sets of gears. One is connected to the engine and the other to the wheels of the car. The third set of gears is the main part of the transmission. The number of gears correspond to the transmission. A five speed transmission will have five gears on the transmission shaft. There is a collar placed over the drive shaft. The clutch is used to loosen the collar and fix it to the corresponding gear. Old cars used to have something called the double clutch to fix the collar to the gear. But our present-day cars have a synchro which moves the collar according to the speed of the gear before fixing the dog teeth. Then we have a separate gear for reversing which rotates the shaft in the opposite direction. The grinding noise which we get when shifting gears sometimes is the solar which not fixed properly to the gear.
