The Drivetrain and the Transmission. The drivetrain and the transmission are actually two very different concepts. The main function of the transmission is similar to the chain on a bicycle: it keeps the engine turning in time with the wheels, regardless of what gear the vehicle is in.
Manual vs. automatic transmissions. A manual transmission has a set of gears that are lined up on a shaft. As the gearshift and clutch, located inside the car, are manipulated by the driver, the gears move into place. As the clutch is released, power from the engine is transmitted to the wheels. The amount of power, or torque, is dependent upon the gear that was chosen. With an automatic transmission, the gears are lined up on the shaft, but the gears change by manipulation of the gas pedal inside the car.
