Manual Transmission

MANUAL - SERVICE INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION
The manual transmission is a fully synchronized two-shaft transmission with six forward gears and one reverse gear. The 6th gear is used to save fuel and reduce engine speed. The manual transmission is equipped with a conventional dry clutch with automatic wear adjuster which is operated by a central clutch operator. The transmission is maintenance-free and has a permanent oil fill. A precise and light shift with short shifting travels is achieved by the following measures:
^ Transmission of the shift lever movement to the transmission by the shift rod and control cable
^ Central shift shaft supported on needle bearings
^ Multiple-cone synchronization in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear
^ Fully-synchronized reverse gear

OPERATION





The gear assemblies and shafts are located between two bearing planes. The divided transmission housing is made up of a light metal alloy, the housing parts of which are sealed with liquid sealing agent. The input shaft is supported by a pilot bearing in the flywheel and by a deep-groove ball bearing in the transmission housing. The main shaft and input shaft are inserted into each other on a common shaft plane in the transmission housing and are supported by deep-groove ball bearings. The countershaft is designed as a hollow shaft to reduce weight and is supported by a deep-groove ball bearing and a roller sleeve. The shaft play does not have to be adjusted due to the very tight production tolerances of the gear wheels and housing halves, as well as the use of roller sleeves.
