INTRODUCTION
The modern automatic transmission is by far, the most complicated mechanical component in todays automobile. Automatic transmissions contain Mechanical systems, Hydraulic systems, Electrical systems and Computer controls, all working together in perfect harmony which goes virtually unnoticed until there is a problem.

WHAT IS TRANSMISSION ?
The transmission is a device that is connected to the back of the engine and sends the power from the engine to the drive wheels Purpose of the transmission is to provide high torque at the time of starting the engine, hill climbing , accelerating and pulling a road.

TYPES OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

1. Rear wheel drive

2. Front wheel drive

REAR WHEEL DRIVE

The transmission is usually mounted to the back of the engine. Power flow on this system is simple and straight forward going from the engine, through the torque converter, then through the transmission and drive shaft until it reaches the final drive where it is split and sent to the two rear wheels. Example of rear wheel Alpha Romeo Alfeta in early 70s

REAR WHEEL DRIVE

 On a front wheel drive car, the transmission is usually combined with the final drive to form what is called a transaxle.

FRONT WHEEL DRIVE

Transaxle is a device set up in the transmission gear box, clutch, final drive, combined into a single unit.
. Front-wheel-drive layouts are those in which the front wheels of the vehicle are driven. The most popular layout used in cars today is the front-engine, front-wheel drive, with the engine in front of the front axle, driving the front wheels. This layout is typically chosen for its compact packaging. Front axles are connected directly to the transaxle and provide power to the front wheels.

PLANETARY GEAR SETS

A gear set in which all of the gears are in one plane, grouped around each other like the planets around the sun. The central gear is called the "sun gear". In mesh with it is a circular grouping of gears, called "planet gears", mounted on a rotating carrier. The planet gears also engage teeth on the inner periphery of the "ring gear". By holding any one of the three gear elements motionless, different ratios can be produced between the other two. Planetary gear sets are common in automatic transmissions.

SIDE VIEW

CLUTCH PACKS
A clutch is a mechanical device which provides for the transmission of power (and therefore usually motion) from one component (the driving member) to another (the driven member).

the simplest application clutches are employed in devices which have two rotating shafts.

A band is a steel strap with friction material bonded to the inside surface. One end of the band is anchored against the transmission case while the other end is connected to a servo.

BANDS

A flexible metal ring fits around the outside of the clutch housing. It tightens to engage the gears, and loosens to release them.

TORQUE CONVERTER
A torque converter is a fluid coupling that is used to transfer rotating power from a prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine or electric motor, to a rotating driven load.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The Hydraulic system is a complex maze of passages and tubes that sends transmission fluid under pressure to all parts of the transmission and torque converter It works with some components.

COMPUTER CONTROLS
The computer uses sensors on the engine and transmission to detect such things as throttle position, vehicle speed, engine speed, engine load, brake pedal position, etc. to control exact shift points as well as how soft or firm the shift should be. Once the computer receives this information, it then sends signals to a solenoid pack inside the transmission

SPOTTING PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY GET WORSE

Watch for leaks or stains under the car. Check fluid for color and odor.
Be sensitive to new noises, vibrations and shift behavior.

Conclusion
Being able to drive a stick-shift means more than just understanding your gears, however. That's because to shift gears, you usually don't just move the shift lever and be done with it. (You can do this sometimes, but it's not recommended in day-to-day driving, and we'll get to it later.) Instead, you have to press the clutch pedal while you shift. . Keeping the transmission and its fluid cool, and in the correct operating-temperature range is crucial for long life.
