Assignment Brief
The six speed synchromesh gearbox is to be found in use in the transmissions of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
Research and discuss the history and development of the six speed gearbox.
You should also include and latest developments in manual transmission systems of light vehicles.
The assignment should be of approximately 2000 words. Font used should be Times New Roman, size 12pt and line spacing of 1.5. Relevant diagrams and illustrations should also be included.
The assignment brief, sources of reference and a word count must be included.
The complete work must be contained in a plastic ring bound wallet, with a clear front cover. The first page must show the DIT logo, Assignment Title, your Name, your Student I.D number, your Class, the Lecturers Name and the Submission Date.
Marks are awarded for the layout of the assignment, depth of treatment and sources of reference. The pass mark is 40%.
Submission Date: Tuesday 19th March 2013
Introduction:
In this assignment I will be looking at the history and development of the 6-speed synchromesh gearbox. With diesel passenger cars accounting for the majority of the European car market, and becoming increasingly popular around the world, manual transmission has been revolutionized. Although a simpler concept, they offer greater performance and fuel efficiency compared to the Automatic Transmission System.
I will source my information from notes I have been given in class, engineering books from the library, and reliable/well known websites. I will also source some information from people in the industry who work with 6-speed synchromesh gearboxes on a regular basis.
From doing the assignment I hope to extend my knowledge of the history synchromesh gearbox, the construction and operation of it, as well as any recent developments in the 6-speed synchromesh gearbox. I will also write about what we can expect to see in future gearboxes.
I am looking forward to doing this
