The key takeaways are about different types of transmissions like manual, automatic, sliding mesh gear boxes etc. and their components like gears, gear ratios, torque converters etc.

The different types of transmissions discussed are manual transmission, automatic transmission, sliding mesh gear box, constant mesh gear box, synchromesh gear box.

Some functions of transmission systems are to provide high torque for starting, climbing hills and accelerating. It allows the engine to run at high speed while wheels turn slower. It provides variable torque and ability to change vehicle speed while keeping engine speed the same.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

(GEAR BOX)

Gear box: Necessity for gear ratios in transmission,

Synchronous gear boxes, 3, 4 and 5 speed gear boxes,


Free Wheeling mechanism, Planetary gears systems,
over drives, fluid coupling and torque converters,
Epicyclic gear box, principle of automatic
transmission, calculation of gear ratios

Automotive Gears: Gears play an important role in trucks, car, buses,


motor bikes and even geared cycles. These gears control speed and include
gears like ring and pinion, spiral gear, hypoid gear, hydraulic gears, reduction
gearbox.

Depending on the size of the


vehicles, the size of the gears also
varies. There are low gears covering
a shorter distance and are useful
when speed is low. There are high
gears also with larger number of
teeth.

Functions of Transmission
To provide the high torque at the time of starting,

hill climbing, accelerating and pulling a load since


high tractive effort is needed
It permits engine crankshaft to revolve at high
speed, while the wheels turn at slower speeds
Variable torque by set of gears
Vehicle speed can be changed keeping engine speed
same with certain limit

The transmission also provides a neutral position so

that the engine and the road wheels are disconnected


even with the clutch in the engaged position
A means to back the car by reversing the direction of
rotation of the drive is also provided by the
transmission

Necessity of transmission
Variation of resistance to the vehicle motion at

various speeds
Variation of tractive effort of the vehicle available at
various speeds
