Manual Transmission And Clutch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Pickup, 2009 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2009 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2009 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The transmission's function is to move the vehicle from a rest position to motion. The transmission changes the engine's output. The transmission then uses gears to adapt the torque to the demands of load and road conditions. It matches engine power to vehicle needs.

This power is delivered from the engine's flywheel, to the transmission. The power is transmitted through a driver operated clutch, which allows for engagement and disengagement of the engine to the transmission.

The transmission input shaft receives the power when the clutch is engaged. The transmission then uses a system of gears to change the speed and torque relationship between the engine crankshaft and the transmission output shaft.

The transmission and clutch system consist of the following:

Six-speed manual transmission
Clutch disc
Clutch pressure plate
Clutch release lever
Clutch release hub and bearing
Clutch hydraulic system
Pilot bearing
