The transmission is a complex part of any vehicle and it allows for power to be sent from the engine to the vehicle in order to drive it. There are two types of transmissions: manual and automatic. Both achieve the same goal of sending power to the vehicle, but they do so in different ways. For example, a manual transmission is operated by a clutch or gear, while an automatic transmission uses a torque system to give you the proper gears without having to use a clutch. In each transmission, there are different types of shift cable.
