Tin Friction
What limits transmission torque capacity?
What it says on the tin. Is the design of the gears (or helical straight cut), friction or syncromeshs, or a combonation? And if so, explain why 3-speed automatic can handle both even, while 5 or 6-speed manual can hardly handle the torque of a small block.
Engineers who design the transmission to determine the ability of TQ. 3 speed transmission as the Ford C6 Turbo400 general managers are made to handle 460 and 454 engines in 1 tonne trucks, not needing more than 3 speeds of the gears of the band due to a very broad torque while that 5 and 6 were made for lighter cars with smaller engines yield more speed. To keep the engine in the power range needed close relationships transmission spaced closer together. Speed 3 cars also were made at a time that makes using a transmission in many different cars. So that the high torque transmission capacity of trucks were found in cars. Now models only 1 or 2 have the same 6-speed. No substitutions.
