Automatic Transmission Technology

An automatic gearbox contains special devices that automatically provide various gear ratios, as they are needed. Most automatic gearboxes have several forward gears and one reverse gear. Instead of a gearstick, the driver moves a lever called a selector. This course will introduce automatic transmission systems and will cover torque converters, electronic and hydraulic control, constantly variable transmission, transaxle transmission, and direct shift gearboxes.
