A transmission uses variously sized gears to get the maximum benefit from the engine's torque while letting it run at an appropriate speed. There are two types of transmissions in domestic cars and trucks: manual transmissions and automatic transmissions.

As Marshall Brain explains in his How Stuff Works article:

Cars need transmissions because of the physics of the gasoline engine. First, any engine has a redline—a maximum rpm value above which the engine cannot go without exploding. Second … engines have narrow rpm ranges where horsepower and torque are at their maximum. The transmission allows the gear ratio between the engine and the drive wheels to change as the car speeds up and slows down. You shift gears so the engine can stay below the redline and near the rpm band of its best performance. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/transmission.htm

Manual and Automatic Transmissions

The difference between a car with a manual transmission and one with an automatic transmission is that the latter has no clutch pedal or gear shift. But both types of transmission do the same thing, albeit in different ways. They let the engine operate in its narrow speed range while providing a wide range of output speeds.
