High Performance Automatic Transmissions

Do Automatic Transmissions Have a Clutch?

Automatic transmissions do have a clutch, but it operates differently from the clutch in manual transmissions. In automatic transmissions, the clutch is a hydraulic or electronic component that engages and disengages gears automatically, without the need for manual clutch pedal operation. It uses a torque converter or other mechanisms to smoothly transmit power from the engine to the transmission. At JEGS, we offer a range of automatic transmissions, including performance automatic racing transmissions, racing automatic transmissions, and high-performance automatic transmissions.

How Long Do Automatic Transmissions Last?

The lifespan of automatic transmissions can vary depending on various factors, including maintenance, driving habits, and quality of the transmission. With proper care and regular maintenance, an automatic transmission can last for many years. Routine fluid changes, filter replacements, and inspections can help extend the life of your automatic transmission. At JEGS, we offer automatic transmission repair parts, including automatic transmission components and fluid, to assist in maintaining and optimizing the performance of your automatic transmission.

How Do Automatic Transmissions Work?

Automatic transmissions work by utilizing a complex system of gears, hydraulic circuits, and electronic controls to automatically shift gears based on vehicle speed, throttle input, and other factors. They use a torque converter to transmit power from the engine to the transmission, allowing for smooth and efficient power delivery. Unlike manual transmissions that require manual gear shifting using a clutch, automatic transmissions shift gears automatically. This makes driving more convenient and accessible. If you're looking for automatic transmission upgrades or performance enhancements, JEGS offers a selection of automatic racing transmissions, performance automatic transmissions, and automatic performance transmissions to enhance your driving experience.
