Is Manual Transmission Prone to Damage?
2 Answers
Manual transmissions are not easily damaged. However, due to frequent gear wear and improper operation by the driver, there may be instances where the transmission gears get damaged over time. Relevant information about the transmission is as follows: 1. Introduction: A device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. It is used to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. A gear-driven transmission typically consists of a housing and several gear pairs. 2. Function: While driving, to adapt to different working conditions, the vehicle's driving force and speed need to vary within a certain range. Since the existing engine's torque and speed variation range cannot meet this requirement, a transmission is installed.
I've been driving this manual transmission car for almost ten years, and the gearbox still feels quite sturdy. To be honest, it's not as complex as an automatic transmission—it has fewer parts and a simpler design, so it generally doesn't break easily. However, you need to be careful with your driving habits. Avoid riding the clutch or slamming it too hard, as the clutch disc wears out quickly, which is the most common issue with manual transmissions. My friend had to replace the clutch assembly twice because he kept depressing the clutch for too long in traffic jams, but the gearbox itself remained fine. Regular checks of the clutch hydraulic fluid and transmission oil are also crucial. For example, I change the oil every 20,000 kilometers to ensure proper lubrication and prevent wear. Overall, as long as you use it normally, shift correctly, and maintain it well, a manual transmission is highly durable and can easily last 100,000 to 200,000 kilometers without any major issues.
