1. Automatic transmission
An automatic transmission is a type of vehicle gearbox that shifts gears automatically, so the driver doesn’t have to use a clutch or manually change gears. Most modern cars, SUVs, and trucks have an automatic transmission. It's also easier to drive and beginner-friendly.
- The car selects the right gear on its own based on your speed and acceleration.
- You just need to shift the gear selector into:
- P – Park.
- R – Reverse.
- N – Neutral.
- D – Drive.
- (Sometimes L, S, or manual mode for low gears or sport driving).
