Types of automatic transmission

There are two types of automatic transmission:
 
  Semi automatic
 
  Fully automatic
 
 
Semi Automatic:

 
In this type the clutch is operated automatically, the driver still has to select the gears
 
Fully Automatic:
 
In this type even the gears are changed automatically by a control mechanism which is  
 
  actuated by the accelerator pedal only. There are only two pedals i.e. For braking and for 
 
  accelerating
 
An automatic transmission unit does not require drivers intervention while driving

A cluster of sensors embedded within the system constantly monitor the throttle 
 
 (acceleration / Deceleration) input and then optimize (change) the engine response 
 
 accordingly
 
The driver only uses the acceleration and break pedals, and can comfortably enjoy the  
 
  drive without having to change gears

 
The gear shift moves up automatically at the optimum shifting level when the driver 
 
  presses  the accelerator and the reverse action can be achieved when the break pedal is 
 
  pressed
 
  Automatic transmission is new concept in India, even though it has been in use for over 
 
  four decades in the U.S. There were only one or two imported models in India  that came 
 
  with the option of an automatic transmission
 
Cars with automatic transmission are different from cars with manual transmission in terms 
 
  of power, acceleration, fuel economy and driving comfort
