PURPOSE
To impart knowledge of automotive transmission system.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES
On completion of this course,
The student will know about the clutch, gearbox, hydrodynamic drives, automatic transmission,
hydrostatic drive and electric drive in automobiles, their principle of operation and performance.

CLUTCH AND GEAR BOX

Requirements of transmission system. Different types of clutches, principle, Construction, torque
capacity and design aspects. Objective of the gearbox - Determination of gear ratios for vehicles.
Performance characteristics at different speeds. Different types of gearboxes - operation. Typical
problems involving the above principles.

HYDRODYNAMIC DRIVE
Fluid coupling - principle of operation, constructional details, torque capacity, performance
characteristics, reduction of drag torque. Torque converter - Principle of operation,
constructional details, performance characteristics, converter coupling, multistage and polyphase
torque converters.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
