Transmission is the act of
moving something from its original state to another. It may involve the
movement of someone or something, transfer of torque, motion and so on.

| Layout of Transmission System |
In motor vehicle,
transmission involves the transfer of torque from the generating channel
(usually the engine), to the road wheels. The torque or rotational force is
generated in the engine and sent to the road wheels through the various
transmission components such as the clutch, gear box, propeller shaft, rear axle, and the differential unit.
These components work simultaneously to enable the motor vehicle to move.
Thus, the function of the
transmission system is to allow the power generated in the engine to be
transferred from the engine to the road wheels so as to move
the vehicle along the road.
How the Transmission System works
The power generated in the
engine in the form of torque moves through the clutch to the gear box; from the
gearbox, it moves to the front universal joint, and gets to the final drive in
the rear axle. In the final drive, the power is turned through right angles to
the axle half shafts to rotate the road wheels.
This basic principle of the
Transmission System is peculiar to Motor Vehicles with Front Engine, Rear Wheel
Drive.
