Understanding the Transmission
The transmission is a vital part of your vehicle’s drivetrain. Its primary function is to transfer power from the engine to the wheels, allowing your vehicle to move at different speeds. There are two main types of transmissions: automatic and manual. Both types require regular maintenance to function correctly and avoid costly repairs.
