What is the principle of a manual transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmission works by shifting the gear lever to switch the driving gears on the intermediate shaft. Through different combinations of gear sizes meshing with the power output shaft, it alters the torque and rotational speed of the drive wheels. The functions of a manual transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio, expanding the range of torque and speed variation of the drive wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions; 2. Under the premise that the car engine's rotation direction remains unchanged, to use the reverse gear to achieve backward driving; 3. With the engine still running, to use neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, which is beneficial for engine starting, warming up, idling, and facilitates gear shifting, coasting, or temporary parking; 4. To drive other mechanisms through the transmission's power output, such as the winch of certain vehicles or the oil pump of dump trucks.
