Hi

[@ekulda]

The manual transmission is the best piece of engineering that humans have made. a true engineer made it. amazing. Im always amazed by the manual transmission. Brilliant.

[@ChaseRacebox]

I rebuild manuals for a living. I can confirm how neat they are to see and fix in person. What's really fun is getting into the science of how they react to high hp engines and loads and what can be done to help reduce the likelihood of a failure.

[@gamersens2363]

I’m currently in school for mechanical engineering, and we just started working on transmissions, we’ve done manuals and started automatics. It’s fascinating how these parts work, and how much more compact and efficient we’ve made them.

[@Amp661]

Do you still get a lot of work? It's sad how manuals are dying out.

[@frostyxmeboi8878]

I know this is old, you may not even see this comment but… im brand new to manuals, ive driven nothing but automatic my whole driving experience (10yrs) i saw a used car that had been well maintained and records of maintenance were available, needed a battery bevause it had sat for awhile, AC, power locks and windows, stereo system in working condition, interior looked good, $500 couldnt be beat, only thing was it is manual. I burned up and already worn clutch and ordered a new one me and my brother went about the process of dropping transmission installing clutch and putting it back together, welp we didnt fully recess the throwout bearing and it came loose and tore up clutch #2. I did all the work in the second clutch replacement myself, considering ive less than a year of mechanical experience and my knowledge is honestly limited to just HD commercial vehicles, so im pretty proud of myself lol. Heres my question though. What tips would you be able to give that would help me to increase my transmissions longevity. Be as thorough as youd like but also just giving me easily google-able phrases, or terms.

[@connorjohnson3429]

@@frostyxmeboi8878 hey man I also rebuild transmissions and daily drive a manual. I would reccomend just practicing in a parking lot for a day or two and really feeling how everything goes with a third pedal involved. Don’t focus so much on the rpm when your balancing the clutch and gas just do it all based off how the car feels. Don’t freak out about stalling out or anything because it will only damage the clutch and not your transmission as your clutch is designed to take all the wear rather than the transmission. Oh yeah and I know I said don’t worry about the rpm too much but if you’re gassing it past 2k-2.5k rpm’s then give it a little less gas and more clutch.

[@frostyxmeboi8878]

@@connorjohnson3429 ive dropped the transmission 2x to replace the clutch i just really dont wanna take it all apart and out everything back together all over again sooner than ill need to lmao rn having trouble with a crankshaft position sensor, also the sychro on 3rd gear keeps rejecting the shift (could be user error) but ive made sure 2k,2.5k,3k not enough rpm the shifter will groan, at 3.5k-4k range it upshifts super smooth but feels like i have to skip 3rd on the downshift because it groans at the shifter everytime i try downshifting to 3rd

[@dfailsthemost]

I was aware of how the system works, but I have to say that was the best explanation I've ever seen or read.

[@nthgth]

This is great, but I think it understates the importance of the synchros. The gears don't need to stop spinning to engage a gear, otherwise you'd have to sit and wait a while just to put it in first and get going. Not to mention upshifting while accelerating. Synchros! And I think the bit at 10:30 or so explains why occasionally it resists going into 1st or reverse until you just slightly engage the clutch and it slides right in. I think it's those struts on the synchros not quite lining up. Guessing it happens if you clutch-in in neutral, wait long enough for the gears to stop rotating, then try to put it in gear with those things misaligned and stationary. This channel is amazing!

[@sgtbrendan289]

I've always preferred a manual transmission. I prefer to have the transmission be proactive ( I begin shifting into the correct gear just BEFORE I need the car to be in that gear). An automatic is REACTIVE, it responds AFTER the fact. Being an engineer myself, I commonly phrase this as " I know a lot of powertrain enginners, all great folks, but none of them have earned the right to tell me what gear I should be in" :)

[@soulextracter]

I've driven a fair number of cars both manual and automatic, and I will have to say automatic is the best because: 1. I don't get cramps in my clutch foot if I get caught in heavy traffic. 2. It's safer, since I can constantly have both hands on the wheel. 3. It's just more comfortable never having to care about shifting gears. 4. I can start on slopes without using the hand break or doing some lightning movements with my feet. 5. I can lend my car to someone else who is not comfortable with manual transmissions, and be sure that they won't burn the clutch. 6. No human on earth, no matter what anyone says, can shift quicker or more precise than a modern computer controlled automatic gear box. When I grew up all my friends said that you have to have manual, since it's more fun, and it requires skill, and that automatics are for wimps. They all drive automatics now.

[@terriquinlan7683]

I learned on a manual, and I've preferred it. I had to learn that drivers, who had only driven automatics, don't know what to expect from a manual vehicle. I ease the throttle, and the internal resistance gives me engine braking. But, people behind me think that they need brake lights to tell them that the vehicle in front of them is slowing. A few near rear-enders. In point of fact, on highways and motorways, brakes are a no-no.

[@slendydie1267]

Finally a perfect video that answered all my questions. Hands down the best, there is no better video anywhere about manual transmission. A different question arose tho.

[@GroovesAndLands]

Your description of the synchronizer is the best I've seen - but it still doesn't explain something I just can't wrap my head around: I'm 100% with you, up through the point where the synch/blocker teeth are out of alignment with the sleeve teeth - thus preventing the sleeve from sliding into engagement - but it seems like a torque reversal would be required for them to become aligned again so that sleeve is free to slide over the blocker and onto the speedgear. There is WAY too much friction developed by the cone clutch action of the blocker/speedgear to be overcome via thrust on the sleeve. To put it another way: Once the blocker and sleeve are misaligned, blocking the sleeve from further engagement... More thrust is applied to the sleeve, creating friction via the cone clutch action bewteen blocker and speedgear. Speedgear is now sped up or slowed down to match same speed as the output shaft/hub/seeve/blocker assembly. But if thrust continues to be applied to the sleeve, I don't see how the blocker and sleeve would become free to rotate with respect to eachother - which is REQUIRED for their teeth to become aligned and allow the slider to fully engage the speedgear.

[@EngineeringMindset]

With the clutch disengaged the engine is not providing any further power, the friction causes the gear and sleeve to rotate at the same speed. Once at this speed the blocker ring is no longer forced to the limit of the strut. So it is able to move, the teeth of the sleeve are angled which pushes the blocker ring teeth a tiny amount, this loosens the blocker ring and allows the sleeve to push past it.

[@GroovesAndLands]

@@EngineeringMindset No, you've skipped the part I'm talking about again. We agree at beginning of sequence, the strut is on one end of the strut slot, right? We agree the blocker is driven (caused to rotate BY the strut, right? We agree the blocker must rotate with respect to the sleeve in order to become aligned, right? In the case where the speedgear is spinning more SLOWLY than the output shaft/hub/sleeve/blocker assembly: As the blocker comes into contact with the speedgear cone, the blocker is going to be forced to back side of the slot. THE BLOCKER WILL NEED TO SPEED UP TO BECOME CENTERED IN THE SLOT AGAIN. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? In the case where the speedgear is spinning FASTER than the output shaft, the reverse is true. The blocker will be forced to the other side of the strut, and to become centered, will need to be slowed down, in relation to sleeve. WHERE DOES THIS BRAKING EFFECT COME FROM?

[@jakerichardson7973]

@@GroovesAndLands there is no braking force, it will attempt to accelerate the input and countershaft. The synchros job is to make shifting smoother and help prevent improper shifts, if you're speed gear is at a large rpm difference to your input it blocks the shift. Trying to force the gear will cause grinding but eventually will accelerate the input to match.

[@GroovesAndLands]

@@jakerichardson7973 I appreciate your replies - but it's clear you ALSO lack understanding of the finer points of the physics at play here. It's had me stumped for years, too. I encourage you to give it some more engineering consideration!

[@redsquirrelftw]

That was really interesting! Would be cool to see four wheel drive/ all wheel drive and even just front wheel drive covered too, I imagine those are going to be a bit different. Transfer cases etc.

[@henris8367]

The main difference is that with fwd and some awd transmissions (as well as those in rear or mid engined cars) the output shaft drives another gear which is to the side of the transmission and is connected to the differential. A rwd transmission will spin a driveshaft to send power back to the rear axle, but the transverse mounted (sideways, like the engine in a fwd car) transmissions need to spin something that runs next to it instead of behind it, so it drives a gear instead of a driveshaft. The main portion of the transmission is nearly identical between the two designs, same idea of an input shaft, output shaft, counter shaft, and shift sleeves.

[@legostar55]

I believe Manual transmissions are generally more enjoyable to drive if being engaged while driving is appealing to you, which it is to me. That's not like autos are bad though, quite the opposite in fact. They are easier to drive than manuals, can be controlled quite a bit if you know how to "talk to it" through the tps sensor, and shift quicker allowing faster acceleration. Plus with the advent of modern 8, 9, and 10 speed automatics are just as fuel efficient if not moreso than a manual.

[@Whatamood]

automatics are very complex, as such you can expect to sell your car once it breaks because replacing it will cost a fortune, for manuals mostly the clutch fails which is replaced for 500€ labour included.

Manuals and auto are both really good depending on what your purpose for the car is. If its just getting to point a and point b on a normal road, auto is fine, unless ofc you like driving manuals.

[@spaceghost8995]

Semi truck transmissions do not have syncronizer gears. You have to learn it. Generally you only use the clutch to start off with, after that you don't need it. You have to learn to match up road speed and engine speed to shift. If the match is wrong you won't even be able to pull it out of a gear, let alone get the next gear. If you have ever been forced to drive a stick shift car with no clutch it would be a similar technique. It is actually easier to learn to shift a semi if you have never learned to shift a manual car.

[@nthgth]

I heard about that years ago, and decided to try that on my own car. Lol, youthful exuberance. Fortunately I didn't destroy anything (maybe because it was a Toyota), and in the process I learned purely through feel _why_ we use the clutch (in a car): the gear must not be under any load when engaging or disengaging. The clutch ensures that, and the synchros allow a little room for error. I can't imagine having to get it exactly right without even any synchros as safety nets. Maybe they don't have them in semi trannies because with 2500 ft-lbs on the input shaft, a synchro would be emulsified the moment it tried to serve its purpose lol

Manual transmission is not only more fun to drive. But the drive has more control of the vehicle, towards slowing down and breaking of the vehicle. Down hill you has more control power, especially with heavy load, for one who know to drive a standard. It's a great plus over the automatic .

[@Dr_Larken]

The biggest sin ever was trying to remove manual transmissions altogether! Also, anybody else have an unhealthy obsession with the way gears work with other gears !

[@Vyantri]

I think manual is better because for my type of car, which is a compact hatchback, manual gearboxes DO get quite significantly better fuel economy than auto gearboxes. This is, of course, comparing apples to apples. For compact hatchbacks, you will not find sophisticated dual clutch transmissions neither will you find continuously variable transmissions. I'm talking about cars in the range of 300k ZAR and under. You won't find a CVT in a car for that price range. What you will find are torque converter automatic transmissions. Torque converter transmissions for compact hatchbacks generally come with 4 forward gears whereas the exact same model manual counterpart will come with 5 gears. That's a huge plus because it makes the engine quieter on the freeway and it improves fuel economy by a more significant margin than you would honestly think. I average 5.9 litres per 100km which is pretty damn good if I do say so myself. Another good plus is that manual gearboxes are the most simple design that a transmission can possibly have in a modern car. Where there is simplicity, there is ease of repair, less chance of fault, and cheap prices for repairing IF something does go wrong. For the most part though, torque converter transmissions when compared to manual are more or less just as reliable. Manual may be slightly easier to maintain and cheaper to repair and less likely to fault, but the margin between auto and manual regarding this is minimal and I will admit that freely. The margin between fuel economy is much more significant. CVT and DCT transmissions will get better fuel economy than your old school manual gearbox, but remember that I am not comparing apples to oranges in this scenario. Last but not least, even with a compact hatchback that outputs a very modest 77kw of power, driving manual is so enjoyable and so much more engaging than automatic. It's fun, and that's another plus to me.

I love these videos, KZbin algorithm do your thing...

[@jonahhex7153]

the explanations are so simple and precise easy to understand...Thank U

I believe the manual transmission is better because there is less power loss between the engine and the transmission because it is a mechanical clutch, unlike an automatic. The automatic transmission has a “fluid coupler” instead of a “mechanical coupler” between the engine and transmission, in which, you have around a 10-20% power loss compared to a manual, having only 1-10% power loss. At least, that’s what I’ve learned in college level automotive technology classes.

tip that might save you one day: dont downshift in a high displacement vehicle if you dont know what you're doing. if you rev match incorrectly or not at all the decelleration from the lower gear will cause your rear tires to break loose and it'll kick the whole rear of the car out. lower displacement cars tend to be a lot more forgiving that way. your friend might end up eating the dashboard when your learning, but overall the engine isn't strong enough to cause the tires to lift off before either frying the clutch trying to climb rpms or the engine and poor transmission have an aneurysm from what you just put them through. but long story short dont hop into your dads corvette and treat it like a honda civic.

3:49 Slight and somewhat trivial correction, but a correction nonetheless. A lot of people make this mistake, but the Imperial units for torque are lbf*ft, not ft*lbf. Ft*lbf is a measurement of work, not torque. In fact, just look at the metric measurement: N*m. The measurement of force comes before measurement of distance, not the other way around.

Manual is better for me because It makes a challenge for me and I love it!!!

[@ttduong06]

I really like your videos. Please make more videos about mechanical devices, next video maybe the clutch to explain how does it work.

[@georgemarfa6502]

I like it very cleat.

[@gudaguda5299]

good video, just what I need, but I don't think going to the details about how the gears and the sleeves are synchronized is necessary. I was completely lost on that part.

Love the wrench torque example. Great video
