Let us tell you, your drive experience is directly related to a gearbox, so here we are going to tell you how many types of gearboxes are there and how it works.
- Manual Gearbox
The manual gearbox is more installed in those cars, which are cheap vehicles in terms of price. In this, the driver himself changes the gear with the help of a gear stick, while in this mode the driver uses the clutch pedal to change the gear.

In an automatic gearbox, hydraulic fluid coupling and torque converter are used instead of the clutch to change gears. The hydraulic fluid coupling is directly connected to the engine, which, when tapped, shifts gears, allowing the vehicle to move forward smoothly.
- Automated-Manual Transmission (AMT)
Automated-manual transmission (AMT) gearboxes are sometimes also called semi-automatic gearboxes. It uses the regular clutch and gear configuration but also uses sensors, actuators, processors and pneumatics.
- Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
While Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) gearboxes are often seen as inexpensive vehicles, where they use belts or pulleys instead of steel gears, Continuously Variable Transmission gearboxes have a variety of gear ratios, which You can change gears accordingly. The gear ratio depends on the engine speed and rpm.
- Dual-clutch transmission (DCT)
If you do a dual-clutch transmission (DCT) gearbox, then you can call it a combination of an automatic and manual transmission. However, one thing it is missing is the torque converter. In this gearbox, instead of a torque converter, you will get two separate shafts with a clutch for changing gears.

The Intelligent Manual Transmission (IMT) gearbox facility is also seen in luxury cars. The IMT is a manual gearbox that has been modified in such a way that no clutch input is required from the driver.
