Automotive Transmissions Efficiently Transferring Power from Engine to Wheels

Quote from the book 
" The most common transmission systems that have been used for the automotive industry are manual transmission, automatic transmission, semi-automatic transmission, and continuously-variable transmission (CVT).
The first transmission invented was the manual transmission system. The driver needs to disengage the clutch (see Fig-ure 4) to disconnect the power from the engine first, select the target gear, and engage the clutch again to perform the gear change. This will chal-lenge a new driver. It always takes time for a new driver to get used to this skill"
