Automotive Mechanic Training - Car Repair and Maintenance - Manual Transmission, How it works

Manual Transmission, How it works In this video we look at the manual transmission system of automotive vehicles. We look at how transmission works, why gears are needed, What is a manual transmission, gear train, compound gears, main parts, shaft, clutch, helical cut, Synchronizer sleeve, Synchronizer blocker ring, splines, Synchronizer hub, stick shift, gear stick, reverse gear and much more. Manual transmissions are without a doubt one of the greatest and most enjoyable automotive inventions. But how do stick shifts work? It all starts at the engine, where the flywheel transmits power to a clutch disc that's sandwiched between the pressure plate. The clutch disc is splined to the transmission input shaft, which rotates the gear assembly. A selector fork allows the driver to choose which gear to select, and power will then be routed to an output shaft and then a differential, ultimately reaching the driven wheels. Manual transmissions are super cool, check out the video for details as to how they work!
