Power transmission system for transmitting engine torque with manual gear change

摘要

The system comprises a power input section (20,20a,20b) with a flywheel (22). An elastic coupling mechanism (7) is joined to the input section. A power output section (21,21a,21b) is joined to a drive input shaft (3) which is connected to the elastic coupling. The shaft has a selectively releasable coupling (6) and a turbine wheel (9) of a torque converter (4) which is joined to the releasable coupling.
