What Is An Automatic Transmission?

There are two different types of automatic transmission; the front wheel drive version called a Transaxle which incorporates a differential and secondly a rear wheel drive version called a Transmission that does not.

Most people refer to the transaxle as a transmission. We just need to understand the major difference between the two.

Just like that of a manual transmission, the automatic transmission's primary job is to allow the engine to operate in its narrow range of speeds while providing a wide range of output speeds. An automatic transmission locks and unlocks different sets of gears to the output shaft to achieve the various gear ratios. In an automatic transmission; the same set of gears produces all of the different gear ratios. The planetary gearset is the device that makes this possible in an automatic transmission.

Engine/Transmission Relations

An important part of transmission diagnosis is to make sure the engine operates properly. If the engine performances is incorrect, the transmission will receive the wrong information. Often customers think they have a transmission problem and in fact it is an engine problem. So before you make any attempt to diagnose a transmission problem, be sure the engine is operating properly.
