A torque converter is an essential component of an automatic transmission, acting as a bridge that transmits the engine’s power to the transmission. Unlike a manual clutch, which requires driver intervention, a torque converter automatically manages the transfer of power through fluid dynamics. This allows the vehicle to stop without stalling the engine and provides […]
A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is a type of automated clutch-based transmission that offers a blend of manual and automatic benefits. Unlike traditional automatics, a DCT uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets, allowing for faster and smoother shifting with dual-clutch transmissions. This setup enhances the driving experience by providing the feel of […]
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is a crucial component that acts as a hydraulic fluid, lubricant, and coolant in automatic car transmissions. Its primary role is to enable seamless gear shifts by transmitting power from the engine to the transmission. Moreover, ATF helps to cool the transmission by reducing friction and preventing overheating, which can lead […]
A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is a type of automatic transmission that provides a seamless range of gear ratios. Unlike traditional transmissions with a fixed number of gears, CVTs offer infinite ratios between their highest and lowest settings, allowing the engine to operate at its most efficient RPM for a range of vehicle speeds. This […]
