4.1. Description

In the technical documentation, the transmission designation is used to ensure the unambiguous identification of the transmission. Frequently, however, only an abbreviation is used. This short form is used to assign a transmission to a transmission family. For example, we often talk about the GA8HP transmission family, which consists of several transmissions such as the GA8HP45Z, the GA8HP70Z and the GA8HP90Z.
