The transmission is responsible for transferring torque from the engine to the drive wheels and consists of many components, each of which must operate with maximum precision to ensure smooth gear shifting, stable movement, and durability of the entire power unit. At the heart of this system are the transmission gears, which form the gear ratios, and the auxiliary transmission components, which are responsible for speed matching, lubrication, cooling, and load transfer. The efficiency with which the car transfers torque to the wheels depends on the precision of the gear manufacturing, the quality of the materials, and the condition of the associated components. Wear or deformation of even one part can cause noise, vibration, or loss of power, so transmission repair is always based on a comprehensive approach.

Car transmission gears form the basis of any gearbox. They transmit torque between shafts, forming the required gear ratio. This determines acceleration dynamics, maximum speed, traction characteristics, and fuel efficiency. Several types of gears are used in modern transmissions: spur, helical, bevel, worm, and planetary.
Spur gears are simple to manufacture and provide precise torque transmission, but they generate more noise. Helical gears operate more quietly due to smoother tooth contact, but require more precise centering. Bevel gears are used in main transmissions where the direction of torque needs to be changed. Modern automatic transmissions most often use planetary mechanisms, which provide compactness and multi-stage torque transmission without a large number of individual gears.
The accuracy of machining determines how smoothly the teeth engage, whether the load is evenly distributed, and whether the geometry is maintained during operation under high torque. Even a microscopic error in the tooth angle can lead to vibration, accelerated wear, or overheating. Therefore, high-quality transmission gears for car are made of alloy steels with high surface hardness (up to 60 HRC) and undergo carbonization or nitriding to increase wear resistance.
Wear and causes of transmission gear failure
Gears operate in constant contact under high pressure. The main causes of their wear are insufficient lubrication, overload, use of poor-quality oil, or incorrect transmission assembly. The teeth gradually wear down, and burrs, microcracks, or chips appear on the surface. If the problem is not fixed in time, metal particles get into the lubricant, damaging other parts of the gearbox.
The first signs of a malfunction are noise or humming during movement, vibrations when shifting gears, and difficulty engaging gears. It is important for service centers to accurately diagnose which transmission components are damaged: the gear, synchronizer, bearing, or shaft. Timely replacement of worn parts can help avoid major repairs.

In addition to gears, there are many auxiliary components in the transmission. These include synchronizers, bearings, shafts, couplings, seals, gaskets, housings, cooling systems, and lubricants. All these transmission gear components form a single mechanism where even the smallest detail affects overall efficiency.
Synchronizers are responsible for aligning the rotational speeds of the shafts before engaging the transmission. If they are worn, the gears engage with a delay or a crunch. Bearings reduce friction and maintain the correct position of the shafts. Seals retain the lubricant, preventing it from escaping. Each of these parts must operate under ideal conditions.
Automotive transmission components are made of alloy steel, heat-treated alloys, or high-strength polymers. Bearings and shafts are precision machined to a tolerance of no more than a few microns. This ensures a precise fit and no backlash. Materials resistant to oils and high temperatures are used for seals to ensure tightness even under prolonged loads.
During repairs, it is important not just to replace a worn gear, but to check all related components: bearings, couplings, seals. A comprehensive approach ensures that the new part will operate without overload or vibration. Service centers in the United States adhere to this strategy—they perform a complete overhaul of the transmission before installing new components.
Production and quality control
Modern transmission gears and components are manufactured using high-precision CNC machining. After machining, heat treatment, grinding, and tooth profile inspection are performed on coordinate measuring machines. Control accuracy is measured in microns. Each part is tested for durability to withstand thousands of shifting cycles without changing its geometry.
The production of such parts requires the use of special steels with the addition of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. These alloying elements increase surface hardness and wear resistance. Surface cementation is used for critical areas, which allows the core to remain strong while the outer layer is hard.
During gearbox repair, it is important to assess not only the condition of the transmission gears, but also the cleanliness of the internal environment. Breakdowns often recur due to metal shavings in the lubricant. Therefore, after replacing parts, the housing is thoroughly cleaned, the lubrication channels are flushed, and the chip catcher magnets are checked.
After assembling the gearbox, a test run and testing on a special stand are performed. The smoothness of gear engagement, noise level, and heating temperature are checked. Only after this is the transmission installed on the car. This approach ensures full compliance with the manufacturer's specifications.
