Definition
The gearbox is the most complex and most difficult component to
understand in a vehicle. This is identified as a mechanical component capable of
transmit the motor power to the transmission shafts so that they
we provide the movement of the wheels.
Transmission relationship
With the variation of the transmission ratio, the gearbox changes the power and the
wheel speed. Engaging low gears provides high power, but
a low speed. When coupling high gears, the power decreases and the speed
increases, this allows for a reduction in consumption.
Types of gearboxes
Manual Box
It is the most simplified. It contains, in a general way, 3 axes:
primary axis-receives the binary through the clutch and transmits it to
intermediate axis. The main difference in relation to the others is that
it does not change the transmission, as it should be the driver to take this action.
Advantages
Best resource of the engine power
Reduction of fuel expenses, if used correctly
Disadvantages
Progressive wear of the clutch
Requires the driver, for a moment, to drive with just one hand.
Constant use of the left foot in driving
Most common usage errors
Resting the hand on the gearbox
Do not reduce speeds at the right moment
Do not engage neutral when stopped at a traffic light
Little mastery of the clutch on the slopes
Rest the left foot on the clutch pedal
Engage first gear while the car is in motion
Start with the second change coupled

Controlled or robotic box
This type of box features electronic control for the clutch and gearbox.
of speeds. The most commonly used model is that of two clutches, one being
responsible for the odd relations and the other for the even relations. This is one of the most
currently used due to low cost.
Automatic cash machine with binary converter
This type of automatic gearbox has a converter that makes the
communication of gearbox with the transmission. This provides a
reduction of about 10% in fuel consumption of the car.
Box with continuous variation
This is the type of gearbox least used, although it is still
present in some mopeds. It is managed by an electronic control and a gearbox
automatic.
Operation
When coupling a change/gear, the corresponding gear selector and the
its gears come into operation. Thus, the engine will allow the activation of the
speeds and the synchronizer will be responsible for protecting the gear shift until
equalize the speeds of the gears.
This component will allow the selection of speeds for different situations.
present in driving (e.g.: starting on an incline, going uphill, etc.)
With the engagement of the first speed, it is possible for the wheels to rotate at a third.
from the speed generated by the engine, but with three times more force. Hence the change more
suitable for the start.
Lubrication
The fluid used must ensure reliability, effectiveness, and protection of the components.
from the box. To do this, it must present some properties:
Adequate viscosity
Chemical Compatibility
Mechanical protection
