  2. Transfer case - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_case

    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.

  3. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

    In most vehicles with a manual transmission, the driver selects gears by manipulating a lever called a gear stick (also called a gearshift, gear lever or shifter). In most automobiles, the gear stick is located on the floor between the driver and front passenger, but some cars have a gear stick that is mounted to the steering column or center ...

  4. Getrag F23 transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getrag_F23_transmission

    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).

  5. Turboglide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboglide

    The basis of the Turboglide's unique abilities was its five-element torque converter.Most automatic transmissions have a three-element torque converter, consisting of an impeller (an engine-driven pump); a turbine that rotates with the flywheel; a transmission-driven turbine that receives the energy of the oil propelled by the impeller, and a stator that redirects the recirculating oil so that ...

  6. Non-circular gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-circular_gear

    Non-circular gear example Another non-circular gear. A non-circular gear (NCG) is a special gear design with special characteristics and purpose. While a regular gear is optimized to transmit torque to another engaged member with minimum noise and wear and with maximum efficiency, a non-circular gear's main objective might be ratio variations, axle displacement oscillations and more.

  7. Non-synchronous transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-synchronous_transmission

    Three-speed sliding-gear non-synchronous transmission Non-synchronous "crash" gearbox; commonly used today in semi-trucks and tractors, and formerly used in automobiles pre-1950s. A non-synchronous transmission, also called a crash gearbox, is a form of manual transmission based on gears that do not use synchronizing mechanisms. They require ...

  8. Dual-clutch transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-clutch_transmission

    The fundamental principle of a DCT is that one clutch drives a gear-set for the even-numbered gears, while the other clutch drives the odd-numbered gears. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 6 ] Since the DCT can pre-select an odd gear while the vehicle is being propelled in an even gear (or vice versa), DCTs can shift several times faster than is possible with a ...

  9. Layshaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layshaft

    A layshaft is an intermediate shaft within a gearbox that carries gears, but does not transfer the primary drive of the gearbox either in or out of the gearbox. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Layshafts are best known through their use in car gearboxes, where they were a ubiquitous part of the rear-wheel drive layout.
