In 1891, the French Panhard et Levassor automobile used a three-speed manual transmission and is considered to have set the template for multi-speed manual transmissions in motor vehicles. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] This transmission used a sliding-gear design without any form of speed synchronization, causing frequent grinding of the gear teeth during gear ...
Speed appropriate to the hazard being approached, attained via explicit braking or throttle control (engine braking), always being able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear on your side of the road; Gear appropriate for maximum vehicle control through the hazard, selected in one shift; and; Acceleration for clearing the hazard safely.
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, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. [1] [2] Transmissions can have a single fixed-gear ratio, multiple distinct gear ratios, or continuously variable ratios. Variable ...

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 usually ...
1931 Bugatti Type 51 cockpit, with Wilson preselector gearbox. The most common type of pre-selector gearbox was the Wilson, which used an epicyclic design. [5] [6] A precursor to the Wilson gearbox was the manually-controlled epicyclic gearbox used in the 1901–1904 Wilson-Pilcher cars built in the United Kingdom.
Inside of a 231 New Process Gear transfer case. Part-time/Manual, shift on the fly. A transfer case is an intermediate gearbox that transfers power from the transmission of a motor vehicle to the driven axles of four-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, and other multi-axled on- and off-road machines.
The F23 is a five-speed manual transmission manufactured by Getrag in Italy. [citation needed] It is designed for transverse engine applications, primarily by General Motors.It can handle torque inputs of over 230 newton-metres (170 lbf⋅ft).
