Gearshifting Mechanisms

Automotive Transmissions

Abstract

Vehicle transmissions require devices to match the ratio, and thus the power available, to the prevailing driving conditions. “Power matching” is one of the four main functions of a vehicle transmission. In manual gearboxes, changing gear is controlled and carried out by the driver. Depending on the amount of automation, in all other gearboxes electronics and actuator systems take over this function partially or completely. Certain transmission functions, such as Neutral, Reverse, and Park are however still controlled by the driver using a shifting device.
