Technical Specifications of the Transmission

The presented gearbox belongs to the category of Manual Transmissions and is designed as a classic, 5-speed manual gearbox. The gear ratio layout is optimized for gasoline engines, allowing for efficient use of the RPM range and maintaining stable operating parameters of the powertrain.

A manual transmission type means mechanical gear shifting using a clutch controlled by the driver. This type of solution provides:

• direct feedback of drive operation during acceleration and engine braking,
• control over gear selection across the full RPM range,
• consistent powertrain behavior during dynamic driving.

• smooth acceleration across the entire speed range,

• stable engine RPM at highway speeds.

By using an original manual gearbox, the vehicle's factory driving characteristics are maintained, which is important for both driving precision and the car's resale value.
