How do automatic transmissions work?
The automatic transmission is simply a mechanical system that is controlled by computer software. The automatic transmission is basically an automatic shifter that connects and disconnects the engine’s output shaft to the vehicle’s input shaft, based on the driver’s demands for speed and power. As long as the vehicle is in gear, the automatic transmission will automatically select the appropriate gear and will shift smoothly when the driver pushes or release the accelerator.
