No, a wife cannot transfer the title of a vehicle if her name is not on the title. The title must be signed by the current owner(s) listed on it. If the vehicle is jointly owned or if there is a power of attorney in place, she may have options, but otherwise, only the listed owner can legally transfer the title.
The person who has the present title signs it over to the new owner. The new owner takes that certificate of title to the DMV and it will issue a new certificate of title in the new owner's name.
