Current and Future Trends in Transmission Design

As automobile technology is evolving rapidly, so too is transmission design. AMSOIL Inc. has produced an educational new Voice-over Powerpoint presentation on Future Trends in Transmission Design. The workings of current designs are demonstrated and reviewed.

The types of transmissions discussed are:
Automatic transmission
Manual transmissions
Continuously Variable Transmission or “CVT”
Toroidal Transmissions
Hydrostatic/Hydromechanical
Dual-Clutch Transmission or “DCT”
Hybrid Transmission Designs
