Gear transmission refers to a system used in vehicles that helps transfer power from the engine to the wheels. It works by using gears, which are like connected wheels with different sizes, to change the speed and force of the engine's power. By shifting gears, the driver can control how much power is sent to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to go faster or slower. This type of transmission is commonly found in manual cars.

Power is transferred to the front wheels through a single - speed
reduction gear transmission, which provides smooth and seamless acceleration.
The has a continuously variable transmission, with a manual shift mode and programming that makes it behave like a
traditional geared transmission in most driving situations.
The instant torque from the electric motor, the
single gear transmission, and regenerative braking create a very digital driving experience, and one that is both enjoyable and convenient.
The report doesn't give any details on how
many gears the transmissions will have, but count on a six - speed manual and an eight - speed automatic.
The parallel approach uses just a single electric motor alongside the gas engine together with a
multiple gear transmission of some kind.
You'll also have the chance to take your new vehicles for a spin around a few new events that have one golden rule; you can only use
manual gear transmission.
The transmission includes an «L» position that allows you to limit the range
of gears the transmission will use, and steering - wheel paddle shifters let you select gears within the range.
Complaints about the driver interface are minor, such as our desire to have a larger screen in the center stack and the ability to see
what gear the transmission is in when it is in «D.» We'd also like to see power - folding mirrors, as the big Titan XD can be a bit challenging in tighter city parking spaces.
This may be 2nd or I may be 3rd or it may be
whatever gear the transmission thinks it needs to be in for the engine power being applied and the speed of the vehicle.
In an attempt to provide decent EPA fuel economy numbers (which no one seemed to care about — my, how times have changed),
Ford geared the transmission comically high.
The motor and reduction
gear transmission sit just behind, and still send power to the rear wheels through a new propshaft but original differential and final drive.
Geared transmissions avoid the rubber - band response of some competitive CVTs, and the Eco and Sport modes behave predictably — Eco dampens acceleration to where it feels like you've added a passenger or two, while Sport further sharpens the Elantra's forward bearing.
The control logic of the Hybrid Synergy Drive system's seamless,
planetary gear transmission has been modified to give a smoother, more natural feeling to vehicle acceleration, with a closer relationship between vehicle speed and engine revs.
The seven -
gear transmission offers scalable hybridization from mild hybrids to plug - in architectures capable of pure electric driving.
In 1st and
2nd gear the transmission uses a triple - cone synchronizer, resulting in comfortable operability and good shift feel.
Interestingly, some premium brands have been moving back to traditional
geared transmissions lately after consumers didn't find them better in non-sports models.
On the highway, the 2009 Mercury Sable is quick when onramp sprints and passing slower cars is necessary, although the economy -
geared transmission does downshift a bit slow.
The TSF series were identical to the last run of TR3As, so with a two - litre engine and non-synchronized
1st gear transmission.
When North American sales start in 2014, there will be two versions of the i3, both running an electric drivetrain similar to the 1 - series ActiveE's: A rear - mounted electric motor providing 168 hp and 184 lb - ft of torque to the rear wheels via a
fixed gear transmission.
Hyundai says that while the best CVTs try to mimic a
stepped gear transmission, the six - speed provides an experience customers are used to.
The two - seater shoots forward like a missile, and the rear end squats slightly as you pour on the power.The Z3 2.8 pulls strongly no matter
what gear the transmission is in.
Although there are no alternative shifting maps like Sport or Economy, there is a Trailer mode, and you can shift manually or select the
highest gear the transmission will shift into by using the steering - wheel mounted Electronic Range Select buttons.
Applied automatically at medium to high speeds, the engine uses a fixed -
gear transmission that provides a mix of power and efficiency similar to that of a fifth or sixth gear in a car with a manual transmission.
Again, note which
gear the transmission is in if the RPMs are getting higher than in another gear.
The relatively small (30 kWh), but powerful 740 - volt lithium - ion battery pack (the technology for which is patent - pending) powers twin sequential axial flux electric motors for greater than 500 hp and a monstrous 1000 lb - ft of torque, which is instantly available from 0 rpm through a single -
gear transmission.
The braking force varies depending on the engine, and
the gear the transmission is in.
The Golf Speed is either powered by a 2,0 - FSI - Aggregate FSI with 110 kW / 150 hp or the 2,0 TDI with 103 kW / 140 hp with 6 -
gear transmission.
I love paddle shifters on sports cars with
a geared transmission, but on a CVT - equipped low power car they are really window dressing.
While the sun gear spins, the planetary gears move around it, either around the ring gear or locked into it depending on
the gear the transmission is in.
It is available exclusively with a manual six -
gear transmission, and instead of the fixed rear wing it has a variable rear spoiler like the 911 Carrera.
Lexus uses a CVT transmission with the RX 450h, rather than
the geared transmission of the gas - only trims.
of torque through a single - speed reduction
gear transmission.
