Automatic transmissions do the job of shifting gears without assistance from the driver. They start out in low as the car begins to move forward. They shift from low gear into intermediate and then high as the car picks up speed. Automatic transmissions operate hydraulically, that is, by oil pressure. 4, record 1, English, - automatic%20transmission
