What is automatic transmission system?
What is an automatic transmission system? Vehicles need a transmission to transfer the power from the engine to the drive shaft and the differential to let the wheels turn. An automatic gearbox, or automatic transmission system, is a gearbox which, after switching on the gear, does not require manual switching.
What is the operation of transmission?
When shifting gears in a vehicle with a manual transmission the driver first presses down on the clutch pedal which disengages the transmission from the engine. The driver then uses the manual shift lever to change gears. The different positions of the gear shift lever engage corresponding pairs of gears.

Which automatic transmission is best?
CVT has a pulley system. This pulley system makes it have an infinite gear ratio which allows it to have the best efficiency in the automatic transmission systems better than DCT. Depending on the speed of the crankshaft the pulley length changes changing the gear at the same time.
Can You Have Fun with an automatic transmission?
My answer is “yes, you can have fun with an automatic”. Changing the gears is in my opinion only a part of the driving experience, and not necessarily the major part. Sense of speed, the engine sound and vibration, steering the car around bends, “talking” with the chassis and steering, these are other parts of the driving experience, and these are present also in an automatic transmission automobile.
What are symptoms of auto transmission problems?

What causes shifting problems?
A worn clutch disc is the most likely cause of hard or difficult shifting. Check the clutch pedal free-play adjustment to insure the clutch is released completely. A manual transmission needs to spin down in order to shift smoothly. Excessive spin down time is more noticeable when shifting into reverse.
How many gears does an automatic transmission have?
Today, most automatic and manual transmissions have six or more gears. The increase in transmission gears is driven by customer demand and government regulations to increase fuel mileage and reduce emissions.
