The most popular kind of automatic transmission makes use of a torque converter, planetary gears, and hydraulic controls. Continuously variable transmissions (CVT), automated manual transmissions (AMT), and dual-clutch transmissions are further varieties of automatic transmissions (DCT). The terms electronically controlled transmission (ECT), electronic automatic transaxle, and electronic automatic transmission (EAT) are also used interchangeably (EATX).<\/p>\n
Another common name for a hydraulic automatic transmission is a \u201cslushbox,\u201d although the phrase \u201ctorque converter\u201d can also be used, even though torque converters are also utilized on CVTs.<\/p>\n
Many people believe that the 1904 Sturtevant \u201chorseless carriage gearbox\u201d was the first real automatic transmission.<\/p>\n
[1][2] The General Motors Hydramatic four-speed hydraulic automatic, which was originally presented in 1939 and uses a fluid coupling rather than a torque converter, is the first mass-produced automatic transmission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
When driven normally, an Automatic Transmission (often shortened to auto or AT) is a multi-speed gearbox used in motor vehicles powered by internal combustion engines that doesn\u2019t need the driver to shift into a higher gear. It is technically a transaxle because it normally consists of a transmission, axle, and differential in one integrated system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-673","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-uncategorized","7":"first","8":"instock","9":"sale","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buysparepartsonline.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buysparepartsonline.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buysparepartsonline.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buysparepartsonline.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buysparepartsonline.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buysparepartsonline.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=673"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buysparepartsonline.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=673"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buysparepartsonline.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
