Abstract |
In last few years, automobile manufacturers are improving performance of transmission system thereby improving gearshift quality. This also includes reducing the amount of clutch operations and repeated gear shifting efforts in manual transmission. Automated manual transmission systems are developed which has advantage of both MT and AT. They are more efficient than manual transmission and less costly than automatic transmission. With improving technology towards refinement, gearshift quality has become one of the most important design criteria for any transmission system, which will reduce efforts for changing gears and ensure smooth transmission without torque interruption. Gearshift quality is the perception of gearshift felt by the driver. It is primarily decided by synchronizers in the transmission that function as a friction clutch and comes into action when vehicle operator needs a ratio change. The main aim of this paper is to study the various research work done on improving the shift quality of manual as well as automated manual transmission. |
