Transmission
The transmission is responsible for transferring the power generated by the engine to the wheels.
It allows the driver to change gears and control the speed of the vehicle. There are two main types of transmissions: manual and automatic.

Manual transmissions require the driver to shift gears manually using a clutch pedal and a gear shifter.
Automatic transmissions, on the other hand, use a torque converter or a dual-clutch system to shift gears automatically.
Regardless of the type, transmissions consist of several components, including gears, shafts, and synchronizers.
Gears are responsible for changing the speed and torque of the engine, while shafts connect the gears to the wheels.
Synchronizers help to match the speed of the gears to the speed of the engine, ensuring a smooth shift.
