CLUTCHLESS SHIFTING OF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION

摘要

The drive shaft includes a drive gear and is configured to transmit power to a wheel of a vehicle. The transmission includes an input shaft, an output shaft, and an intermediate gear. The input shaft includes a transmission input gear and a plurality of input shaft gears. The output shaft includes a transmission output gear and a plurality of output shaft gears. The input shaft and the output shaft are aligned such that the input shaft gears mesh with the output shaft gears. The output shaft includes a first synchronizer configured to selectively engage an output shaft gear from the plurality of output shaft gears to adjust a ratio between an input shaft speed and an output shaft speed. The transmission output gear is operably coupled to the drive gear such that power is transmitted between the transmission output gear and the drive gear when the output shaft gear is engaged.
