Ignition, not transmission. In old cars, there'd be a contact that span round and touched other contacts to trigger the spark plugs at the right time. In a modern car, that's done electronically, and so doesn't start out and need replacing, and can vary the spark timings based on things like speed and temperature while the engine's running instead of just when you have the bonnet open.

I was using it as a comparison is all. But thanks because I actually don't know much about the ignition portions.
