How a Manual Transmission and Clutch Works

[@animagraffs]

VIDEO CORRECTIONS (compiled from viewer comments): Manual transmissions are common everywhere but the U.S., apparently. We're skilled researchers and this fact was absolutely not apparent before publishing, but it's good to know. Long live manuals. From Shady Janzier: You forgot to animate the flywheel/crankshaft center bearing and tip of the input shaft that goes into it. Those two are vital in keeping everything centered and functioning reliably. Without that concentricity, the input shaft would wobble and eventually warp;

[@Christopher_TG]

Yep. Automatic transmission is the standard in the US, but we're the odd ones there. In the rest of the world, even in wealthy regions like Western Europe, manuals are the preferred option.

[@arkan7rb]

for example in middle east in Yemen and Egypt manuals are more than automatics gearbox's, specially in Yemen coz of the maintains auto's are just waste of money, u wont see a single heavy truck here auto never ever,it wont survive at all. any way really thanks for the wonderful animation

[@victoryleadership1]

Automatic transmissions just seem to be more in line with American culture. I like manuals myself and have overhauled a few. I like to think how I want to shift, not have the car think for me.

It is in some ways, but not as difficult as you might imagine in others. What's difficult (although I suppose this is true with most other skills as well) is the years of learning the requisite skills required to even attempt something like this. Once you've got that down though, the actual process of creating something like this is pretty methodical. Modern software makes it pretty easy to manage large numbers of objects and only show what you need at any given moment.

People from the past are not less capable or intelligent than current people. This is a common misconception. There hasn't been enough time for humanity to "evolve" into being smarter. We are always born the same, but thanks to the education system we are able to build upon what the smart people from the past (going back thousands of years) have done and archived, be it on analog or, more recently, digital media. With many small contributions from many people, you end up building some pretty complex systems.

[@kiefershanks4172]

I appreciate all the detail here. Really shows how it works accurately. You even animated how the shifter actuates the selector forks via cable which was helpful to see in this FWD model. Even the clutch assembly and operation is accurate. You can really see why you need to be smooth when selecting gears to not damage the synchros as well as why not to press the clutch down unnecessarily to prevent wear on that pressure plate bearing which is under immense force when used. You can see why these are still some of the most reliable transmissions, if treated properly.

[@NikolaiUA]

Before the synced gearbox came, there was the non-synced one, where you had to rev up the engine in neutral gear before shifting into a *lower* gear. As the box cannot sync the gears as described in the video, the driver was supposed to approximately match gear rpm speeds before joining them together (shifting). It is actually easy to learn *if* you already easily drive a manual vehicle, just a single extra action and also takes some extra time for the whole downshift procedure. But you can still do it on a contemporary synced gearbox, simply ignoring the comfort of having the synchronizer. Just for the fun of it, for practice, and also you save a bit on the wear and tear of the synchronizer: that part of the video where he narrates about it acting like a minuature clutch. If your gears are pre-matched speed-wise, then there is no friction in those conical syncers as they are equal speed and dont rub against each other picking up speed. You can feel that "rubbing" as some resistance on your shifting lever, actually, if you select a lower gear the "normal" usual way.

[@Sixinthefield]

This is how the manual transmissions work in semi trucks (non-sync'd); you have to manually feather the throttle to match the appropriate RPM and gear to the road speed. As you're getting closer to the correct RPM, you can feel the teeth getting snyc'd up by a vibration in the shift stick, until they match speed and it drops into gear........it's a bit of an art form, really.

@@cheekydemon6131 It’s honestly not that hard. You choose your gear based on engine rpm, speed and size of load.

You go 1-4 in low, then repeat H from 5-8 in high. So that’s 8 gears, splitter makes them 16. And a low and high for reverse. Voila. 18.

Wow, this is a marvel of both presentation (animation) and engineering (how the gearbox works). I've been driving stick for several decades, never thought it was so complex.

I'm a mechanical engineer, and watching this several decades out of college almost feels unfair! Excellent graphics and narrative.

This is the exact video I’ve been looking for my whole life

[@Aspeer1971]

Amazing effort. Best I’ve seen to explain/animate complex issues clearly.

[@Jakecole-rt1wz]

Me never knowing how a transmission worked this video was literally perfect for me, I now understand how it works, the animation and explanation is incredibly good!

[@Anthony_thom92]

Simple is as simple does. These automatic transmissions got me confused but mechanical outputs like this is easy to follow

[@sahilandjohan4061]

I'm blown away by the precision and accuracy of this engine mechanism video. It's a true work of art and a testament to the power of human innovation.

This is the best animation I have ever seen. I know how all of this works but it’s awesome to see it this way, feel like I relearned everything in 10 mins

The best animation i ever saw about synchronization process

[@calebjohnson4167]

This is truly an amazing video. Thank you for being so in-depth and breaking it down.

I highly recommend this video because… I am “me” and This is how an explanation video should be. Thank You. Very informative to the extent that I learned answers to questions I hadn’t the understanding to ask. This video exposes all.

I clicked LIKE before I watch the video. The animation is so good that it is criminal not to do so.

Beautifully animated and incredibly well explained. Thank you
