hiiii...
i needed some help in collecting some articles related to automatic transmission...i need the basic idea of it,and comparison with manual transmission...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
can i have a basic idea of preparing ppt about automatic transmission...what an all should be included in it
 
The following website has a good discussion of the various types of continuusly variable transmissions (CVTs)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continu...e_transmission
None of the CVTs have efficiencies as high as manual transmissions: about 96% in all but the 1:1 gear which is about 98%. Manufactirers of CVTs will not disclose the efficiencies of their designs; it is proprietary.

Note that manual transmissions in standard automobiles do not require water cooling. If a particular CVT requires water cooling, that is proof that it is less efficient than a manual transmission.
