The transmission system in an automobile transfers the engine's power to the road wheels, propelling the vehicle forward.  The transmission system is made up of several components, including:  Clutch, Transmission gears, Differential, Final drive, Rear axle, Rear wheels, Gearbox, Propeller shafts, Axles.  The transmission system varies the engine's talk according to the driver's requirement. Here are some types of transmission systems: Manual transmission: The driver has to select the proper gear and engage or disengage the clutch. The transmission uses a flywheel, pressure plate and...
