I love pedantry as much as the next person, but you can’t seriously expect me to believe that in a thread about a van, in response to people talking about a cars torque you invoked the idea of a transmission to mean anything from a big ol 18 gear peterbilt double shifter to a rear differential.
When people are talking about cars and they use the word transmission they mean the mechanical device that lets you select gear ratios. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
If you want to die on the “everything with gears is a transmission” hill that’s your prerogative, but it requires that you accept everyone recognizing that you don’t even know enough about cars to speak in the vernacular.
Your entire argument boils down to the fact that a significant amount of people use the term in a different way to it’s technical definition, and therefore the technical definition is the wrong one.
You do understand a transmission doesn’t necessarily mean multiple ratios, right? A single ratio reduction gear is a transmission.

You’re seriously telling the person using the term in its technical definition they’re wrong?
Whatever dude, if you want to play chicken chess, that’s up to you.
Oh cool jeep, what transmission do you have in it?
I went for the Dana 44.
Almost every differential has a ratio, they step down the input to a slower speed, higher torque.
So yes, a Dana axle is inherently a reduction gear.
The point
Your head
“It sucks you gotta take the Subaru in for transmission work, what was happening with it?”
“Bad cv joint”

Yeah I sure am the weirdo here.
Anyway, time to take the crown Vic over the the transmission shop, the wipers aren’t moving when the motor goes.
