With CC: Tweaked installed, a Transmission next to a computer, or on a wired modem, is a transmission peripheral.

Methods

Method	Returns
getGear()	the current gear, 1 to 4
setGear(n)	true, or false and a reason
shiftUp(), shiftDown()	true, or false and a reason
getDirection()	"forward", "reverse" or "neutral"
setDirection(d)	true, or false and a reason
getGearSpeeds()	the four gear speeds in RPM
setGearSpeed(n, rpm)	the speed stored (kept within 1–256)
getInputSpeed(), getOutputSpeed()	RPM

A direction set by a computer holds until a Forward or Reverse face is powered.

Refusal reasons:

Reason	Meaning
cooldown	shifted too recently
limit	already in 1st or 4th gear
redstone_override	a Forward or Reverse face is powered

Example

local t = peripheral.find("transmission")
t.setGearSpeed(1, 48)
t.setDirection("forward")
local ok, reason = t.setGear(2)
if not ok then print("refused: " .. reason) end
print(t.getGear(), t.getOutputSpeed() .. " RPM")
