gearboxes
Torque conversion assemblies
Gearboxes is the plural of gearbox, a metal casing that houses a set of gears in a machine, most commonly in a motor vehicle where it transmits power from the engine to the wheels.
The gearbox allows the driver to shift between gears to match speed and power needs.
In British English, gearbox often refers to what Americans call a transmission.
The term extends to similar gear-housing units in industrial machinery, wind turbines, and other mechanical systems.
