Wikipedia

  1. gearbox

    A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses gears to change the speed or direction of rotation in a mechanical device. Many transmissions have multiple gear ratios, but there are also transmissions that use a single fixed gear ratio. Most currently-produced passenger cars with petrol or diesel engines use transmissions with 5-8 forward gear ratios and one reverse gear ratio. Electric vehicles typically use a single-speed or two-speed transmission.

Gearboxes, often used in motor vehicles, consist of a system of gears or a complex arrangement of parts that utilizes applied energy to perform specific tasks, such as changing the direction of motion or allowing the rotation of one shaft to be different from the second shaft.
