Here’s a look inside a manual transmission and how it works!


A manual transmission takes its inputs from the driver through a set of cables to shift gears in a transmission. The process is only governed by the driver, and not by any governor, fail safe's or electronics.


The manual transmission consists of a few main parts, the shifter mechanism, the shifter forks, the synchronizer rings, the input and counter shafts, reverse idler, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate and differential.

In this video, the 5 speed manual transmission from a 2003 Honda Accord 4 cylinder is completely torn down and taken apart to examine all the components and their function. Overall, the manual transmission proves to be a very sturdy design that can take a lot of torque and will last a very long time because it does away with wet clutches (automatics), electronics (Dual clutch transmissions) or belts (CVT’s) all of which are weak points. The manual transmission clutch and synchronizers are the weakest spot on manual transmissions, but often only wear from driver misuse and degradation as opposed to catastrophic failure.
