Manufacturers just can’t stop adding gears to cars. In just a few years, we’ve gone from five or six speeds being the standard, to eight, nine, or even 10 speeds. Honda and GM are even working on gearboxes that go to 11! Why do they keep adding more? Well, it turns out there are two very good reasons why you might want a lot of gears, and quite a few reasons why you wouldn’t. Today, we’re gonna figure out why they keep adding gears to cars, and if there’s some point - like, we dunno, 11 maybe - where it’s simply too many. Let’s go!

My 22 F-150 is 2WD and has a 5.0 engine with a 3.31 rear end. I have it tuned so cylinder deactivation is turned off. I just took it to visit my parents and did 65mph for 3.5 hours. It turns 1500 rpms and got me 27.2mpg. Needless to say, I am super impressed with this truck and 10 speed transmission.

Everyone knows that auto makers have watched the success of The Fast and the Furious's 100 speed transmissions and have slowly used their R&D to copy them. It takes a lot of engineering hours to go from a 5 speed to a 8 speed; we will be living in 2050 and still only be at 30 speeds. By them F&F will probably be using 200 speed transmissions

The differential ratio (somewhere about 3.3 to 4.15) reduces engine speed more than the 6th gear multiplies it, so the wheels spin less than the engine anyway

yup, that's the reason why when people say if you have a 1:1 gear ratio (like 5th gear in some cars) the engine has the same speed as the wheels--wrong because the differential changes the ratio too

i love this channel, i love B2B. i found donut on the up to speed episode on the civic and felt the joy and emotion you guys have for accomplishing so much. growing up my step dad worked at one of the oldest garages in town. i learned a bit about body, internals, paint, and i got really good at sweeping up the shop whenever the day was over. he would come home and share his excitement about working on a new or different kind of car and being amazed at the innovation some companies put on the road. tragically, he was also abusive, alcoholic, and whenever i was in the garage with him he generally made it an unpleasant experience due to his behavior. that man is long out of my life and im beginning to see the splendor and amazement of his passion in cars underneath all the addiction and abuse. i never knew anything about how transmissions worked but you make it so easy to understand and youre also not blasting hot booze breath in my face about it. i drive trucks and im trying to get into my companies repair shop on my off time. im beginning to enjoy tinkering with things, especially on my own 350z im trying to put back together but no space or tools keeps me from utilizing the knowledge i get from youtube outside of super basic things. sure would be cool to replace or fix the transmission myself and feel proud of it rippin down the street when its done. this is great.

At an engine speed of 1300 rpm going through a 0.5:1 sixth gear, if the rear wheels are spinning at 800 rpm then the reduction in that particular differential is 3.25:1 (or 1:3.25 if you want to be technical.) 1300 X 2 = 2600 2600/800 = 3.25

Please, I agree with Jeremiah that an episode on the Koenigsegg Light Speed Transmission would be awesome. Also, another one on Koenigsegg Direct Drive ("no gears"). Engineering Explained has covered both, and even others, like Untangled (very first video explaining Koenigsegg LST), but the Donut touch would be refreshing. I would also love an episode on the forgotten gear systems from the past, and in transmissions with uncommon shifter patterns, like the three-on-the-tree manual, the universal "dog leg" pattern for 3-speed manuals (floor or column mounted) and the rare examples that didn't follow it, the "dog leg" pattern itself, outboard shifters, why the GT40 is right hand drive and shifter is to the right, old automatic transmission patterns ("P, N, D, L, R"; instead of "P, R, N, D, L"), etcetera. Please note that I know the answer to all of these things, no need to comment on me, but I haven't seen a video compilation of all of these, and Donut making one in the style we all know and love, would be awesome. Thanks in advance, greetings from Pergamino, Argentina 🇦🇷

Brands do market analysis and they build cars based on that. And naturally the market is the same for everyone, so they will build similar cars because they all come to the same conclusion which type of cars will sell. But i think many brands have at least one "cool" car. Like the Supra for Toyota and the R8 for Audi. It is the same with Smartphones, TVs etc.

If someone else has done the R&D, why would you spend time and money doing your own?

Makes me proud to be a ZF employee working on the 8HP transmission :) , but our transmission with 5 clutches can also shift gears by opening one clutch and closing another, transferring all the torque from the engine during shifting, so the car in continuously accelerating.

There once was an infinity gear that was a geared sphere that rode on a plate set and how it changed the ratio was to change angle where they met and thus changed the distance of the circumference the plate traveled along... wonderfully more durable than cvt BUT insanely expensive to machine out, so it was left to the bin.

I had a ZF8 for 4 years in my BMW M235 and tuned that transmission. It’s such a fantastic transmission and actually brings “fun” into autos with its characteristics. I didn’t think an auto could be fun and comfortable until I drove that car. I moved back to a 6 Speed manual for my M2 Competition because I knew it would likely be the last new car I would buy in manual before they’re extinct. I love rowing my own gears and I’m happy I did what I did….but man do I also miss that ZF8 at times.

I used to own an e90 m3 with dct. And it was my favorite transmission. Everyone told me it was bad and I should have gotten a mnaual. Later I traded it for a 6mt Camaro SS 1le. I missed the dct whether on track, autocross, hills or daily driving. I never liked the manual. It just always felt like a hinderance. I had a chance to drive a 6mt e92 m3 and a 10 speed zl1 and even with the chassis and engines swapped I still preferred the paddle shift. The modern automatic(including dcts) are so responsive and fun they allow you to experience the car in a way you just can't in a manual.

17:17 That's not true, electric motors definitely still have power curves. In general, the power is reduced as the speed increases. In most EVs, the power is somewhat reduced at speeds >60mph. Some like the Porche Taycan have 2-speed gearboxes to mitigate this, while others like Tesla Plaid or Lucid Air have developed motors with better power at higher speeds.

I in fact will miss the transmissions even more than the engines. I'm up for the electric future, but I just love manual transmissions. In any case you can program your favourite car torque curve into an electric motor, make it feel just like the car you plotted it from (even the cool vibrations), and attach it to any transmission you want. I understand gas engines have soul and electric motors don't, but transmissions are spirit itself

It's pretty cool how seeing how much transmissions have changed recently. My car has the first 8 speed auto, and that was built in 2008. 10 years prior, Lexus still had 4 speeds in their performance cars. Now 8-10 speeds are the norm.
