Automatic transmission (commonly known as AT) is an automobile gearbox that can change gear ratios automatically. The changes are made as the car is moving and frees the driver from making manual shifts. Almost all of the automatic transmissions have a preset gear range and often feature a parking pawl system which locks the output [...]

An intercooler (commonly known as charge air cooler) is a heat exchange device used to increase the intake air charge density of supercharged or turbocharged engines. The intercooler can be air-to-air or air-to-liquid. Intercoolers increase the output of the engine by decreasing the air intake temperature. This decrease in temperature provides denser intake charge for [...]
