Double-clutch

Double-clutching was a common clutch mechanism in older automobiles and is used in some race cars even today. Initially, you push the clutch pedal and de-couple the engine and the transmission. The collar, thus, goes into neutral because there is no pressure on the dog teeth. When you take your foot off the pedal, the engine is connected to ensure you have the right speed. To engage the dog teeth, the next gear and the collar have to rotate at the same speed. When this is achieved, you push the pedal again and lock the collar to a new gear. This process of pushing the clutch twice at every gear change is called double-clutching.

Synchronizer

Modern transmissions eliminate the need for double-clutching by using synchronizers. A synchronizer enables frictional contact of the collar and gear before engaging the dog teeth. Thus, the speed is synchronized before the dog teeth make contact voiding the double-clutch.

Manual transmissions are simple, cost-effective, lightweight, and more efficient than the automatic. But the automatic transmission allows you to have a hassle-free drive without having to worry about changing gears. The communication between the numerous components is what drives the transmission system. It is remarkable how a few simple twists and draws can put your vehicle into motion and control its speed.

The design and implementation of transmissions vary from one manufacturer to another. The overall mechanism, however, remains the same.

The most common transmission you see in cars today is the 5-speed. 4-speed models are also available but the 5-speed remains ever popular. The components of the transmission are similar to the 2-speed transmission you’ve seen with additional gears and shafts to complement the speed.

The transmission consists of 5 speed gears and a reverse gear. The shift lever controls three forks which are held together by three rods and engage the mechanism. A rotation point on the center of the lever allows you to handle the gears. The knob on the lever acts opposite to the motion of the corresponding rod and fork. For example, when you want to apply the first gear you move the knob forward. This enables the rod and fork for the first gear to be pulled back.

Different forks and their collars are engaged when you move the shifter either right or left. The collar will engage a gear in case the shifter is moved forward and backward.

The reverse gear, as the name suggests, is applied when you are backing the vehicle. The gear which handles it is called an idler gear. It remains true to its function even in design. It is turned in the opposite direction of other gears. This is done to ensure the gear is impossible to apply if the vehicle is in a forward motion. In the off chance, you do engage the reverse gear, the dog teeth wouldn’t. Instead, you are treated to a lot of noise which indicates the error of your gear switch.

Now that you are familiar with the different shafts in the transmission, here are the other components which complete its design.

• Gears: The gears are toothed wheels which are used to change the relation between the speeds of the engine and the wheels. The driver can select any one of the gears to control the speed of the vehicle. These gears are placed on bearings allowing them to spin on the shafts. They are not attached to the splined shaft. In case the car is in motion with the engine turned off, the shaft is the only part which moves whereas the gear and layshaft remain stationary.
• Collar: The collar is used to attach the splined shaft to one of the two available gears. The splines connect it to the shaft and enable it to spin along with the shaft. The collar is quite mobile and can slide to either side in order to connect the gears.
• Dog teeth: These are grooves on the collar which can easily lock onto the holes of the gears and engage them in order to power the vehicle.
• Gear selector fork: The gears on the shift lever are connected to the collar through a gear selector fork. When you select any one of the gears, you move the dog teeth slide in and out of mesh.

2-speed transmission engines are a rarity with 5-speed versions becoming the norm. However, the components remain the same with an additional two or three gears and a more complex model of the transmission.
