What exactly does the transmission do and can you drive without itgt;
Describe what your car is doing? Do you have a transmission that functions partially? If so you can still drive it. I had an 89 Dodge Caravan and a 1995 Saturn, and both had electric solenoid transmissions. Both had reverse fail, but the forward gears still worked fine. Electric transmissions will fail a gear, but all the others may work, and it doesn't make any difference. As long as the fluid is clean and clear and the other gears work, drive on.
NO!!! You definatly cannot drive a car without a transmission, its one of the most essential parts to a vehicle. It turns changes the gears on a car to allow the car to accellerate no matter what speed you are going. A transmission is a device for providing different gear or drive ratios between the engine and drive wheels of an automotive vehicle, a principal function being to enable the vehicle to accelerate from rest through a wide speed range while the engine operates within its most effective range.
No you cannot. I'll make this simple. When you press the gas you are turning a gear and its moving the car. The 1st gear is small so the more you press the gas the faster it spins. You then need a bigger gear or the 1st one will wear it out quickly. So your car shifts you into 2nd gear. And so forth and so on. Without a transmission you have no way to shift through these gears I would imagine.
