In a true automatic the gears are applied and released by hydraulic pressure, usually in a special oil.
The control system is either an analog hydraulic computer (called a valve body) or on newer cars and trucks an electronic computer that controls the hydraulics.

in an automatic transmission when it shifts the belts that hold the planetary gears that control the gear ratios grab the next gear before it releases the previous gear. while the transmission is in two gears at once the engine doesn't provide the power to the transmission so with the lack of tension on the motor it allows it to build up speed before it slows back down when the transmission releases the lower gear What about a manual transmission?
