2. Transmission System :
Transmission system in a car helps to transmit
mechanical power from the car engine to give
kinetic energy to the wheels.

3. Layout :

4. Functions :
• 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

5. Necessity / Requirements :
• Variation of resistance to the vehicle motion at various
speeds
• Variation of tractive effort of the vehicle available at various
speeds
• To engaged or disengaged the power from engine to
transmission system
• To transmit the torque
• To distribute the final torque equally between the driving
wheels.
• To Provide the torque needed to move the vehicle under a
variety of road and load conditions.

6. Types of Gear Boxes :
• Manual
• Sliding Mesh Gear box
• Constant Mesh Gear box
• Synchromesh Gear box
• Automatic
• Over drive (semi-automatic)
• Fluid drive or Fluid coupling
• Fully automatic
• Epicyclic gear box
• Free Wheeling unit
• Torque Convertor

7. 1. Sliding mesh gear box :

8. 2. Constant Mesh Gear Box :

9. Double-Declutching :

10. Advantages of Constant
Mesh Gearbox :

11. Synchromesh
Gearbox :
• This type of gearbox is similar to
the constant mesh type gearbox.
• Instead of using dog clutches here
synchronizers are used.
• The modern cars use helical gears
and synchromesh devices in
gearboxes, that synchronize the
rotation of gears that are about to
be meshed

12. Gear selector Mechanisms :
• 1. Mechanism with gear lever on top of
Transmission Case
• 2. Mechanism with gear lever on steering
Column

13. 1. Mechanism with gear lever on top

22. Overdrive :
• Is a device which is used to
step up the gear ratio in
the vehicle.
• It is mounted in between
transmission and propeller
shaft.
• A transmission is in
overdrive when the
transmission output shaft
is turning faster than
the transmission input
shaft, or clutch gear.
• Overdrive is generally fixed
on top gear only.

23. Hydrodynamic Torque
Converter:
• A Torque Convertor
is a type of fluid
coupling capable of
producing torque.
• Replacement of
Clutch for Automatic
Transmission
Vehicle.
