Automotive transmissions. A preselector gearbox is a type of manual transmission mostly used on passenger cars and racing cars in the 1930s, in buses from 1940–1960 and in armoured vehicles from the 1930s to the 1970s. The defining characteristic of a preselector gearbox is that the gear shift lever allowed the driver to "pre-select" the next ...
Design and operation. Automated manual transmissions can be semi-automatic or fully-automatic in operation. Several different systems to automate the clutch and/or shifting have been used over the years, but they will generally use one of the following methods of actuation for the clutch and/or shifting: hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuation, electro-mechanical, pneumatic, electromagnetic ...
A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system, where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is ...
The H-series is a 4- and 5-speed manual transmission for Land Cruisers and Coaster from 1967 onward. [citation needed] Models: H4x 4-speed; H5x 5-speed; H15xx 5-speed; J-series. The J-series is a 6-speed manual transmission for rear-wheel drive applications, built by Aisin Seiki (Type AZ6). This transmission was used in the Altezza AS200 and RS200.
A MultiMode manual transmission ( MMT or M/M [1]) is a type of automated manual transmission offered by Toyota. It uses a traditional manual gearbox with a computer-controlled clutch actuated by permanent magnet motors. [2] Multimode Manual Transmission is available in the Aygo, Yaris, Corolla, Corolla Verso, Mark X and Auris in Europe, and ...
A sequential manual transmission, also known as a sequential gearbox, or a sequential transmission, is a type of non-synchronous manual transmission used mostly for motorcycles and racing cars. [1] It produces faster shift times than traditional synchronized manual transmissions, and restricts the driver to selecting either the next or previous ...
Manual transmission kit. For manual transmission equipped cars, it is a component that replaces the stock gear selector (shifter). A shift kit usually shortens the throws of selecting a gear (also known as a short throw shift or short shifter), therefore allowing a driver to reduce the shift time and change gears more efficiently. Automatic ...
A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set —two or more gears working together—to change the speed or direction of rotation in a machine. [1] [2] Many transmissions have multiple gear ratios, but there are also transmissions that use a single fixed-gear ratio. Most currently-produced passenger cars ...
