Bout Manual Transmission Car

Manual transmission is a type of transmission used in motor vehicles. This system uses a clutch operated by the driver to regulate the flow of torque from the engine to the transmission, as well as the gear shift operated by hand (in the car) or leg (on the motor). Acceleration gear assembled in the gear box / Reducer for some speed, typically ranging from 3 to 6 speed forward gears plus 1 reverse gear (R). Gear acceleration is used depends on the speed of the vehicle at low speed acceleration or uphill gear used 1 on wards if the higher speed, and vice versa if you reduce the speed lowered gear acceleration, braking can be helped with a reduction gear acceleration. 

Another known type of transmission is an automatic transmission, semi-automatic transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT)

synchromesh

Is a synchromesh transmission equipment that serves to equalize the rotation between the teeth that will be connected so that the acceleration of tooth movement can be done seamlessly. The way it works when the transmission lever in neutral position, the synchromesh was in the middle of no effect or are affected by both beside the existing gears. 

Arrangement of gear acceleration

Arrangement / layout gear speed manual transmission depending on the characteristics of commonly used sector in the region, the Asian car output is somewhat different with Europe, especially in the placement of reverse gear (R). The placement of the gear lever are widely used on the floor but some modern cars use the gear lever on the dashboard or the old car wheel placed on the handlebars.

Floor gear lever

It is a 5 speed gear arrangement commonly used in modern cars plus one reverse gear R. Placement marked with reverse gear (R) crucial because it can enter an interference with the vehicle, as if from 5th gear to reverse the wrong move can be fatal

This arrangement is a 5-speed gear arrangement commonly used in light buses coupled with one reverse gear marked with a Gigi R. 1 is rarely used, used when climbing on steep climbs.

Car layout with 3 forward gears which are the teeth acceleration output of American cars in the 1930s to the 1950s who at the time was dubbed "three on the three"

Layout is developed after that, which was also developed by the output of European cars and Japanese. Is still used in some commercial cars such as the Mitsubishi L 300.

Gains Manual Transmission

Fuel consumption 

Manual transmission (M / T) connects the engine to the transmission with a rigid clutch in the torque converter compared with the automatic transmission (A / T) or v-belt on a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Manual transmission also does not waste energy because there is no hydraulic pump such as the transmission of A / T. Therefore, a car with transmission M / T is generally more efficient than the A / T or CVT; even so the difference in fuel consumption has been somewhat reduced due to the emergence of a locking torque converter on the transmission A / T. The difference in fuel consumption between M / T and A / T berkisarr 5-15% depending on the manner of driving and road conditions. Next, the transmission M / T also does not require active cooling and because it is simpler than the mechanical A / T, then the weight is lighter than the car with the transmission of A / T

Durability and maintenance costs

Transmission M / T has a more simple mechanical system with parts less than A / T. Therefore, the treatment was generally easier and less expensive. In addition, the transmission A / T does not have electrical components, pumps, and cooling mechanisms such as the transmission of A / T.

The cost of vehicle maintenance manuals are generally less expensive than automatic. New vehicle prices are much cheaper than the manual automatic.

lubrication

Most transmission M / T rely on splash lubrication although some also have a Rover gearbox oil pump.

Performance and control

Transmission M / T generally provide more gear ratio (gear ratio). Most vehicles have a 5 to a 6 speed manual gear, while the transmission A / T is usually only 4 teeth. The number of teeth that will further streamline the more fuel consumption.

Braking engine (Engine brake)

Transmission A / T does not have an effective engine braking. This means that the engine does not slow down the car when the driver took off effectively control its speed. This causes the driver will use a lot of brakes, so the brake on car A / T will wear faster.
