The following are the Types of Transmission Systems

A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. Transmissions can have a single fixed-gear ratio, multiple distinct gear ratios, or continuously variable ratios. Variable-ratio transmissions are used in all sorts of machinery, especially vehicles.

1. Manual: It is a transmission system where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch.

2. Automatic: It is a multi-speed transmission used in motor vehicles that does not require any input from the driver to change forward gears under normal driving conditions.

3. CVT: A CVT, or continuously variable transmission, is an automatic transmission that uses pulleys and a belt or chain to continuously change gear ratios, instead of fixed gears.

4. IMT: Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) is a clutchless transmission that combines the convenience of an automatic transmission with the control of a manual transmission.

5. DCT: A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is a type of transmission that combines the performance of a manual transmission with the ease of use of an automatic transmission.

6. AMT: The automated manual transmission is a type of transmission for motor vehicles. It is essentially a conventional manual transmission equipped with automatic actuation to operate the clutch and/or shift gears.
