Manual Gearbox Technology

A transmission system gearbox is required because the power and torque of an engine changes at different speeds. The transmission also reverses the drive and provides a neutral position when required. This course will cover gearbox operation, gear change mechanisms, gears and components, and synchromesh mechanisms. It will also introduce front wheel drive and rear-wheel drive gearboxes.
