Importance of Automatic Transmission

Automatic transmission also known as automatic gearbox is one type of motor vehicle transmission that can mechanically change gear ratios as the vehicle moves, releasing the driver from having to shift gears physically. A defined set of gear ranges is had with some automatic transmission, often with a parking pawl feature that locks the output shaft of the transmission.

There is not much difference between an automatic transmission and a standard one if you have still driven a car with an automatic transmission, then you can make out that there are two big differences between an automatic transmission and a manu¬al transmission: As it with automatic transmission car there is no clutch pedal and gear shift.  Once you put the transmission into drive, everything else is automatic.
 
When it comes to automatic transmissions it has the necessity of having their fluid replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles to evade damaging the system. This type of transmission generates heat while it is in use, so the fluid humiliates over time. The transmission has to be changed immediately if it is characterized by a strong "burnt" smell. In order to get rid from this problem the transmission fluid has to be replaced on schedule.
