How many 'speeds' can a manual transmission have?

Thanks for watching!

This is how manual transmission looks like in Vin Diesel’s Dodge Challenger in the Fast & Furious

This Transmission will be perfect for my Base Model 2013 Toyota Corolla Hatchback!

Your demonstration at 0:44 presented gear transmission more clearly than anything I've ever seen. Well done and thank you.

For anyone who doesn't know, semi trucks actually have close to this number of gears. Most typically have 10 but some do go all the way up to 18 (and some even higher)

A friend of mine is a oil field heavy haul trucker. His truck has a 600 HP CAT with an 18 speed main transmission and a 4 speed second trans. That's 72 forward gears into a 4:64 ratio 3 drive axles rear
Bogie. To keep the motor in the optimum operating range.

This is an extremely well done and visual representation! The axles in the real deal are meshed together much more complex and would have cluttered the view. Well done!

I've watched like a million of videos about how the gears connect in manual transmission, and this is the first one, where I understood it! Thanks for the video!

[iansnyder]

They should show this video in automotive classes. This makes so much more sense than how they taught us. Now I fully understand how this works

[Smile-kyic]

It's crazy how your projects make me love learning even more.

Stick an overdrive on and have twice the number of gears. The Laylock overdrive had a red button on the gear knob to turn on a solenoid that (through hydraulics) engaged the overdrive gears with a cone clutch; the overdrive was fitted between the standard gearbox and prop shaft.

this is an excellent demonstration of how a manual gearbox works. super easy to understand and very informative. best i've seen on the subject. laying it out in a linear fashion really helps show how the mechanism function. also, love the 'lego speed indicator'. now, you just need to ramp it up exponentially :)

[YardworkWithJohn]

Neat. It'd be exhausting to drive in a normal car but i'd give it a go.

This will show my age but used to drive a 20 speed truck. It had 5 x 4 gears in two Gearboxes. One was transmision the other called a brownie but no idea why its called a brownie. The Brownie had 4 speeds that were 1/4th of a gear on the 5 speed transmistion. We sometimes called the brownie a gear spliter as it split the 5 speed into 4. If truck was fully loaded plus going up a hill you started in 1st on both boxes then ran through 1 through 4 on the brownie than shiffted the transmision to 2nd and the brownie back to 1st then repeat until you hit top gear if you could go that fast. It was a cummins 335 Diesel Engine with only 300 RPM working range thus the gears were needed. Later Fuller came out with a 15 speed Transmision that did not require the brownie. The spliter was built into the transmision. Pretty cool rig you made there. IF I did not know how they worked this explaned it better than others I have seen. Good Job

Awesome video! I can't imagine all the time it would take for printing and design work. Amazing job!

3:48 The way the lego figure changed its face when the situation became much worse was gold

[IntergalacticSpaceKitten]

I've learned so much from videos like these on how that stuff works. That model has made it easier to understand all this through having a simple easy visual teaching model. It amazes me that someone first figured all this out before.

I've been driving 18 speed transmissions for decades. Some of the older trucks had up to 23 speeds if I remember correctly. But technically those trucks had two transmissions and two shift levers. You had your main transmission and auxiliary transmission (or brownie box as it is commonly known.) You also have a multitude of reverse gears. An 18 speed has three reverse gears. The Mack triaxle I drove many years ago had 5 reverse gears and you could run through the gears in reverse like you could going forward.

[spencermurphy]

Most I have driven was 20 speeds. It was a Spicer 20 Speed triple shaft transmission in a 1965 Mack that had a 6 cyl Continental Diesel Engine. The truck had four shifters lol. Three for the trans and one for the diff. The truck had a 3 speed diff that could be manually selected. First shifter was the gear shifter which went 1-5. Next stick was a high range you pushed forward on and you would use the gear shifter to go 6-10. Third stick you pushed forward and you shifted 11-15. Lastly you pulled the second stick backwards and shifted 16-20. You would start out in the first speed of the diff until speed 6 and you went to the third speed at 16. A lot of shifting and it took me about 3 months to get good at driving that damn truck.

Dude thank you. I have rebuilt my transmission, and looked at tons of videos. I didn't really feel like i got it until the first demo.

Bro I’ve been driving manual transmission cars my entire life but I could never have explained to you how the transmission works. Watching your videos I feel like I totally understand it now, I couldn’t build it, but I definitely get the basics. Really cool content man, I’ll be watching whatever videos you make in the future
