Abstract
The manual transmission plays a dominant role in vehicles sold in Europe. At the same time, the six-speed transmission is increasingly replacing the five-speed transmission. For transverse (“east-west”) installations, length is a major factor for the vehicle package. A three-shaft design allows the use of short transmissions with a high torque capacity. This article describes the different basic gear set arrangements of three-shaft transmissions and a design that has been consistently optimised to achieve a shorter length.
