Fundamentals of Modern Vehicle Transmissions 16 Hours | On Demand Course I.D.# PD730419 The Fundamentals of Modern Vehicle Transmissions on-demand course begins by explaining the primary function of the transmission: to couple the engine to the driveline and provide torque ratios between the two. The course then discusses the latest transmission systems designed to achieve the most efficient engine operation. Current designs, the components and sub-systems used, their functional modes, how they operate, and interrelationships are also covered. The course explains ratios and how they function within the driveline by using a manual transmission display, then uses automatic transmission design to illustrate the concepts of automatic control and hydro-mechanic decision theory and implementation. The course also illustrates various transmission models and components to supplement these theoretical concepts with practical, “hands-on” experience. Mechatronics, toroidal transmission functions, and the future of the automatic transmission are also discussed. Finally, the course provides in depth coverage of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) systems. These systems represent a fundamental shift in the way power is transmitted from the primary source to the remainder of the driveline. Based on the popular classroom seminar, the 14-hour course is divided into nine modules, accompanied by a workbook.This course satisfies a requirement in the Transmission/Drivetrain Certificate Program. Learning Objectives By participating in this On Demand course, you will be able to: • Explain the development, operational aspects, and design principles of passenger vehicle and light truck transmission systems, their major components, and their sub-systems • Describe the operational parameters and interrelationships of each of the sub-systems • Apply basic design synthesis and analysis techniques for each of the major components and sub-systems • Compare and contrast “stepless” to “stepped” transmission technology • Identify and describe the function and operation of all major components and sub-systems • Recognize the limitations, technological trends, and potential new products under consideration • Summarize the direction of new passenger car transmission designs and systems
