Gearbox control system and procedure has return spring to take up play between lever and main gear-changing component

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The control system between a gear-change lever (1) and a gearbox synchroniser (11) consists of a chain (3) of transmission components that incorporates a return spring (43) that acts on the main transmission component (29) to take up any clearances in the chain when it is not in its neutral position. The spring effort is applied to the main transmission component via an auxiliary component (6a) that is not immediately adjacent to the main component, with the spring taking up all clearances between them. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Motor vehicle gearbox control system. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The inclusion of the return spring reduces vibrations in the system caused by accumulated clearances. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a cross-section/ perspective view of the gear change transmission system. 1 : Gear change lever 3 : Transmission component chain 6a : Auxiliary component 11 : Synchroniser 29 : Main transmission component 43 : Return spring.
