automatic gearboxes are totally different from manual gearboxes.

first of all th ey dnt have any clutch pedal or u can say they dnt hv any clutch at all. instead of clutch they use torque converter. in automatic gearboxes apart from torque c onverter they have planetary gearset. in an automatic gearbox the planetory gear box produces all the different gear ratios in one go and with only one set of ge ars. the planetory gearset has three components1. the sun gear 2. the planet gears 3. the ring gear they are aaranged like aou solar system. u can imagine the sun gear being in the center surrounded by the planetory gears and then the whole assembly(the sun ge ar and the planetory gears) is cantained in the ring gear. in other words, the s un gear is in the center and with it the planetory gears are meshed n at the sam e time the planetory gears are meshed with the inner side of the ring gear. in p lanetory gearset we can have the gear ratio by locking one of the gear from the above three components and using the other two as input and output gears.
