9/12/2023 0 Comments First automatic transmissionLike in many other reads that one might find on this technology, I have to start by stating the fundamental reason why an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) equipped automobile needs a transmission in the first place. This is intentional because all the pictures, diagrams, animations etc., are just a click away anyways. Note: In this blog, there are no references to any pictures (except one), diagrams or photos. Nevertheless, I have decided to write a blog on this technology. Okay, I know I’m at the risk of stating the obvious (or blogging on the topic), for TeamBHP is a place where knowledgeable people hang out. Above all, you might read this simply to better appreciate these tremendously complicated technologies as much as I did research on this topic. However, I have tried to make this to be that extra bit of info that I have found missing, that might help people make a more informed decision when they make the plunge or help effectively use the technology that they have opted for. Neither, this is meant to be advice for buyers on which is the best technology to choose. The following is not a comprehensive account of the various types of automatic transmissions out there by any stretch of the imagination. Just to make my point, I don’t think many people know that CVT-equipped vehicles may also have torque convertors in them! Many people avoid Torque Convertor automatics citing the inefficiency of torque converters. However, I have concluded that most of the information available on the web is quite superficial and lacks the kind of depth that one would like to find. A plethora of information on this topic can be found floating around on the web for everyone’s consumption. I think that many people out there are confused about which automatic type they should choose and why. People are opting for automatics for all sorts of reasons but mainly, we Indians have more money to spend and we are annoyed by today’s traffic situation in most of our cities and urbanized neighbourhoods. There is a paradigm shift in the Indian car buyer’s attitude towards Automatic Transmissions. BHPian arunpools recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
