What is the function of a transmission in a car?
In older cars a two way radio allowed you to transmit as well as receive radio signals. This "transmission" has come through the years in various forms and is now associated with the gearbox. It has been misinterpreted as the transmission of power from the engine to the wheels. See Nikola Tesla and his "Pierce Arrow" for a better understanding. it serves to transmit the power from the engine to the drive wheels because the engine needs to turn at fairly high rpm you need the gears to allow it to rev up so that you have enough power to do work at slow speeds
