The Model T transmission employs a unique planetary gear system that provides two forward speeds and a reverse. It uses a foot-operated pedal system, where the left pedal engages low gear, the center pedal operates the clutch and brake, and the right pedal shifts into high gear. This simple design allowed for smooth operation and ease of use, contributing to the Model T's popularity and accessibility for everyday drivers. The transmission is also notable for its reliance on gravity to assist in shifting, making it quite different from modern automatic systems.

Because the different gear teeth are always in mesh, it is not possible to "crash" or "grind" the gears as can be done in a more traditional style gearbox.
