Automatic Transmission Changing Performance Standards

Image
The most common type of automatic transmission uses hydraulic power to shift gears. This device combines a torque or fluid coupling converter with gear sets that provide the desired range of gears for the vehicle. The torque converter connects the engine to the transmission and uses pressurised fluid to transfer power to the gears. This apparatus replaces a manual friction clutch and allows the vehicle to come to a complete stop without stalling. As the number of fixed gear ratios in automatic transmissions continues to increase in the pursuit of power train system efficiency, focus must be directed towards optimising the design for shifting performance. A lumped parameter metric is proposed to assess and compare the upshift controllability of new transmission architectures and power flows using simple analysis. The durability of fast shift times during performance manoeuvres are quantified through calculation of shifting clutch energy and power from analysis and form measurements o

12 Tips before getting an eSafety check in Sydney

If you are going for an eSafety check inSydney then there are some simple tests that you can do yourself before you take it to the mechanic and avoid the Repairs Needed Report. 1)       No Unwanted Attachments: The vehicle should not have any additional attachments like holders, hooks or trays that are protruding from the body 2)       Vehicle Body: If there is significant rust or breakage on the body of the car then it will be declared unfit. 3)       Wipers: It is important to ensure that the wipers are not just operational but that they can remove water off the windshield effectively. 4)       On Board Indicator Lights: If any of the onboard indicators are on when they are not supposed to be or vice versa, then the test will deem the car as unfit. Checking the battery and its connections could ensure that this does not happen. 5)       Seatbelts: The threading on the seatbelt should not be compromised in anyway and the belt should lock and unlock without any hassles. 6)
