There are so many problems with electrification development. No infrastructure, no stations to charge the batteries. And charging takes too long. Also, many cars don’t match the charger, many vehicles have to
Automatic transmissions reduce the number of cars transmission components, which reduces automatic transmission and transferring engine power to the drivetrain. To improve shifts, one should reduce higher engine speed when torque increases and maintain an optimum RPM. Revolutions per minute (RPMs) are a measure of how quickly your transmission is transferring power from the engine to the wheels.
The advantage to just changing your transmission fluid over a transmission flush is that changing is much faster and will also be much cheaper. Flushing your transmission fluid is a better, more thorough alternative to a basic change, which, of course, means Flushing will also cost you more.
A manual transmission is a house of various components like gears, shafts, and various selecting mechanism that are arranged in a special fashion to provide appropriate torque and speed ratios to compete with the challenges provided by the different road conditions.
When considering a car purchase, reliable automatic transmission is a huge deciding factor. CVT transmissions are considered the most efficient and reliable type of automatic gearbox. Is it true?
An automatic transmission uses planetary gearing, also known as planet gears, to change the output speed and torque of a vehicle. A gear system consists of a central sun gear, a set of planet gears and an outer ring gear.
A fluid coupling allows the driver to use the clutch and gears with less skill and fatigue than with an all mechanical linkage, and transmits power from one shaft to another using fluid.
The most common type of automatic transmission is the Automatic Torque Converter (ATC), which uses a converter friction clutch and a clutch transmission to control the engine speed. It is similar to a manual transmission but uses a torque converter instead of a clutch.
If you notice one or more of the signs above, your transmission may be failing and needs to be repaired. - Engine related problems like a torque converter failure, automatic transmission whistles, and other unusual noises can indicate a major repair is needed.
Automatic gearboxes were first introduced in luxury vehicles in 1940, and eventually became available for mass-market cars in 1950. The first experimental hydromechanical transmission was developed in 1904 by the American engineer, Alfred Horner Munro.
In 2022, transmissions franchise opportunities will grow in the United States because of an increasing amount of commercial and personal vehicles.
This article discusses the differences between automatic and manual transmissions, and how each operates. A clutch is used in an automatic transmission, but it is operated differently than in a manual transmission.
In our last article we talked about transmission solenoid frequency and how it relates to the mechanical response of a solenoid when Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is used to control a solenoid. We discussed some of the theory, but what does this look like with an actual solenoid? How does frequency affect the response of a solenoid and how critical is matching the OEM frequency when driving a solenoid, especially when we start talking about testing and reclaiming solenoids.
There are so many problems with electrification development. No infrastructure, no stations to charge the batteries. And charging takes too long. Also, many cars don’t match the charger, many vehicles have to
In the last couple of articles, we used terminology relating to pressure control solenoids such as PWM, Frequency, and Duty Cycle. In this article I thought I would go into depth on what these terms really mean and how they relate to
As far as I know, we are the only company that manufactures frictions clutch plates, steel clutch plates, and similar products, that is vertically integrated. In other words, not only can we test new designs, we also develop our own resins, and we can design and make our paper.
Probably every transmission repair specialist was keen on LEGO constructions or at least enjoyed making some minor things with their hands. Here's the game taken to a new level of creativity!
Modern auto industry is full of sophisticated drivetrain technologies which are supposed to make your driving experience even more pleasant and trouble-free. Despite a great abundance of sophisticated technical solutions, it is highly likely that very few people know a transmission solution operating like a manual CVT.
Over recent years engineers developed a lot of gear shifting solutions for different car brands, which may seem a bit unusual for oldtime drivers. In this article we will review the most peculiar gear stick technologies and provide video materials related to these technologies.
Only few people know about transmission concepts which were popular 70-90 years ago. For men of today, these gearboxes may seem very unusual and weird, but even now some gearboxes that date back to those years are quite competitive in comparison with modern transmissions.
Nowadays Extroid CVTs are commonly known as “toroidal” due to the fact that the working surface of driving and driven discs in this transmission has the form of a torus. Extroid CVT is not a V-belt transmission, but a friction drive CVT.
