How a Sequential Gearbox Works – Part 3

Sequential Gearboz

 

Sequential gear transmission is a type of manual transmission that allows the rider to select gears in a sequence or order. Unlike traditional manual gear transmission, the rider cannot skip gears. This technique of switching gears is particular to this type of gear transmission which requires a selector shaft to shift gears up or down.

Sequential transmission has become popular in motorcycles and high-performance cars that are used in motorsports because it makes it much faster to shift gears. In motorcycles, the rider is given complete control of the gear shift, which makes it easier for him to focus on the brakes and clutch on the handlebar. Shifting gears with a sequential gearbox is also much easier since the gear changing happens in a sequence. This way, the rider need not pay too much attention to gear shifting and can instead focus more on controlling the vehicle.

Another advantage is that the sequential transmission is also consistent. All the rider has to do is push the level forward to change gears. The hand location is also consistent. With the traditional H-pattern transmission, the shift lever location changes. So, the rider has to pay attention as to where he has put his hand based on what gear the vehicle is in. Another major advantage is that this form of transmission is safer. In case you mis-shift gears in an H-pattern transmission during a race, you could damage the engine and cause an accident. With sequential transmission, you have no chances of mis-shifting gears.
