The transmission of a race car has a very tough job. It needs to be able to handle a lot of power, and it also has to be very precise. It's also a common point of failure because of the immense amount of stress that it's under, and the high number of moving parts. The transmission is more than the gearbox - it also includes the entire system of shafts, differentials, linkages, and clutches that are necessary to change gears.
The transmission is responsible for transferring the power from the engine to the wheels. Sounds simple, and sometimes it is, but that doesn't make the choice any easier. There are many different types of transmissions within the typical manual / automatic dichotomy. It's a trade-off between many factors including complexity, precision, durability, ease of use, and cost. No one type of transmission is best for every application, so it's important to understand the pros and cons of each type before making a decision.
The most sophisticated transmissions can cost as much as the engine itself, so it's not a decision to be made lightly. However, a good transmission can make the difference between a car that's fun to drive and one that's frustrating. Investing early for the long term can save you time and even money down the track.
If you're selling transmission components or a gearbox, it's important to provide specific details about what you have on offer. Different transmissions are used for different purposes, and buyers will need to know if your product is a good match for their needs. Providing clear and concise information about your product is the best way to ensure that buyers find what they're looking for, and that you make a sale.
