MANUAL TRANSMISSION

The gearbox is mated to the engine via a spring-loaded clutch plate faced on both on

Clutch plate faced on both sides with friction material. The clutch must be disengaged to shift gears, and the transmission must be in neutral, or the clutch disengaged, for the vehicle to be stopped while the engine is running. The transmission consists of an input shaft from the engine and an output shaft to the drivewheels. The input gears can slide back and forth to mesh with their output mates. Synchronizer cones between the sliding gears and shaft allow smooth shifting. Reverse gear is on its own shaft.
