The Difference between Gearbox and Transmission

 The terms gearbox and transmission are often used interchangeably, but they do have slightly different meanings.

A gearbox is a mechanical device that transmits power from an engine to the wheels of a vehicle. It is typically made up of a series of gears that mesh together to provide different gear ratios, allowing the driver to adjust the speed and torque of the vehicle to suit different driving conditions. Gearboxes can be manual, automatic, or semi-automatic, depending on how the driver interacts with the system.





Transmission, on the other hand, refers to the entire system that transmits power from the engine to the wheels of a vehicle. It includes the gearbox, as well as other components such as the driveshaft, differential, and axles. The transmission is responsible for transmitting power at the correct speed and torque to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to move.

In summary, while the gearbox is a component of the transmission, the transmission encompasses all the components that work together to transmit power from the engine to the wheels.
