The transmission wildcard here is the Ram truck. Ram doesnât offer a medium-duty-truck transmission in its pickup. So weâve chosen to compare the automatics from Ford and GM to the Aisin Seiki AS68RC six-speed found in Ramâs cab-and-chassis trucksâand not the 68RFE six-speed used in Ram pickups. Will this Aisin Seiki be the next transmission offered in the Ram pickup once its power goes up? We wouldnât be surprised.
rear-wheel drive arrangement that used a transmission to transfer power to the rest of the driveline. The rear-wheel drive transmission transmits power in a straight line, from the front of the vehicle to the back. The differential and the final drive assembly are contained in a separate housing at the rear axle. Today, most automobiles use front-wheel drive sys-tems equipped with transaxles. Transmissions and transaxles perform the same function. The major differ-ences include the arrangement of the parts and the fact that the differential and the final drive assembly (sometimes called the ring-and-pinion assembly) are an integral part of the transaxle.
