ABSTRACT
An All-Terrain Vehicle is an Off Road vehicle that has the ability to drive on any terrain
without any difficulty. These vehicles are designed to sustain any sort of extreme loads that act
during off road driving. All-Terrain Vehicles are fitted with large tires with grooves for better
traction on slippery terrains, high ground clearance to avoid obstacles, and usually designed with
high torque rather than speed. As compared to commercial vehicles, these vehicles are designed
to be more strong and durable. These vehicles are vastly used in Deserts, Mountains, forests or any
other gravel surfaces.
All-Terrain Vehicles are vastly used in farming in India. Best examples are tractors and
snow mobiles. The main key for such vehicles is the powertrain assembly which is unique and
differs from other vehicles. The power train includes Engine, Manual Gearbox, Limited slip
Differential or in some cases a reduction gearbox coupled with a continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT).CVT is the new technology being implemented in Off Road Racing.
BAJA vehicles are the most famous Off Road Vehicles in India.However,due to the
extreme loads caused by the gravel tracks and the constraints to reduce the weight, one major
component is susceptible to failure—Reduction Gearbox. Gearbox is a costly component and on
failure, the vehicle is immobile The Power Train assembly is so complicated that it occupies a lot
of space in the vehicle hence increasing the overall weight. The aim of this project is to design a
gearbox that is compact, lightweight and has extended life. Major fields covered are Material
selection, Machine Engineering Design of Gears, Shafts, Gearbox Casing, Bearing selection,
Vibrations caused due to the Engine. These analytical designs have been validated through the
help of CAD and FEA software like SolidWorks and ANSYS. Various Analysis like Structural,
Repeated loads and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been performed to study the
behavior of components and oil flow during operations. The design is also finalized with the fits
required for assembly and the final product is expected to be efficient, light weight, compact and
long lasting than the other Gearboxes being used today.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 GEARBOX
A Gearbox is a device that used for transmitting power from the Power source to
the output shaft. A gearbox has a set of gears that are enclosed in a casing. The gears are
mounted on shafts which rotate freely about their axis. The gears are fixed on the shafts
by Fits or by a key. These shafts are made to rotate freely on a support called casing.
Bearings are tightly fit between the shafts and the casing. Today’s cars have various sets
of gears which give different speeds and torque on different Gears. A Gearbox is
necessary because it is impractical to directly connect the input source to the output shaft.
The power source may not have enough torque to bear the whole load at once. This will
put a load on the power source which may cause overheating, more fuel consumption or
even failure of the components. Gearbox gives leverage to the power source by
enhancing the torque at initial gears and then delivering high speeds at final stages. This
reduces the capacity of the power source required and hence less fuel consumption. Each
Gearbox has its own set of Gear ratios that can be selected by the driver or just one set of
universal Gear Ratio that will work with the help of a Torque converter or a Continuously
Variable Transmission Major components include gears, Casing, Shafts, and Bearing.

1.2 REDUCTION GEARBOX:
A reduction gearbox is a device by which an input speed can be lowered for a
requirement of slower output speed, with same or more output torque. Reduction gear
assembly consists of a set of rotating gears connected to an output shaft. The high speed
incoming motion from the wheel work is transmitted to the set of rotating gears, wherein
the motion or torque is changed. The number of gears used in the reduction gear
assembly depends on the output speed requirement of the application. The reduction gear
assembly is usually known as reduction gear box. Depending on the Output speed
required, the reduction may have single stage or two stage reduction.

gear. The first reduction gear is then connected to a low speed pinion with the help of one
more shaft. This pinion is connected to the second reduction gear mounted directly on the
propeller shaft. Such arrangement facilitates the reduction of speed to a ratio as high as
20:1.
3
1.3.2 Gears
A gear is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, which mesh with another
toothed part to transmit torque. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and
direction of a power source. Gears almost always produce a change in torque, creating
a mechanical advantage, through their ratio. The teeth on the two meshing gears all have
the same shape. Two or more meshing gears, working in a sequence, are called a gear
train or a transmission.
Advantages:
1. It transmits exact velocity ratio.
2. It may be used to transmit large power.
3. It may be used for small center distances of shafts.
4. It has high efficiency.
5. It has reliable service.
6. It has compact layout.
Gear Ratio
It is the ratio between the Input and the output gear. From gear ratio, we can
calculate the speed, Diameter and number of teeth of the gears
Formula: = =
4
Gear Types: Spur Gear and Helical Gear
Spur Gear: Spur gears are mounted in series on parallel shafts to achieve large
gear reductions. The most common gears are spur gears and are used in series for large
gear reductions. The teeth on spur gears are straight and are mounted in parallel on
different shafts. Spur gears are used in washing machines, screwdrivers, windup alarm
clocks, and other devices. These are particularly loud, due to the gear tooth engaging and
colliding. Each impact makes loud noises and causes vibration, which is why spur gears
are not used in machinery like cars. A normal gear ratio range is 1:1 to 6:1.
Helical Gear: Helical gears operate more smoothly and quietly compared to spur
gears due to the way the teeth interact. The teeth on a helical gear cut at an angle to the
face of the gear. When two of the teeth start to engage, the contact is gradual--starting at
one end of the tooth and maintaining contact as the gear rotates into full engagement. The
typical range of the helix angle is about 15 to 30 deg. The thrust load varies directly with
the magnitude of tangent of helix angle. Helical is the most commonly used gear in
transmissions. They also generate large amounts of thrust and use bearings to help
support the thrust load. Helical gears can be used to adjust the rotation angle by 90 deg.
when mounted on perpendicular shafts. Its normal gear ratio range is 3:2 to 10:1.

Figure 1.6: Helical Gears have inclined teeth. [8]
1.3.3 Shafts
A shaft is a rotating machine element which is used to transmit power from one place to
another. The power is delivered to the shaft by some tangential force and the resultant
torque (or twisting moment) set up within the shaft permits the power to be transferred to
various machines linked up to the shaft. In order to transfer the power from one shaft to
another, the various members such as pulleys, gears etc., are mounted on it. These
members along with the forces exerted upon them causes the shaft to bending. In other
words, we may say that a shaft is used for the transmission of torque and bending
moment. The various members are mounted on the shaft by means of keys or splines.
STRESSES IN SHAFTS
The following stresses are induced in the shafts:
1. Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (i.e. due to torsional load).
2. Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon
machine elements like gears, pulleys etc. as well as due to the weight of the shaft
itself.
3. Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.
1.3.4 Bearings
Bearing is a component that ensures smooth rotation between the fixed support
and the rotating shafts. These components are made of high carbon alloy steels that can
bear huge amount of loads and rotate at high RPMs/There are two types of bearing---
Sliding contact bearing and rolling contact bearings. Sliding contact have a fluid between
the inner and outer race that ensures smooth rotation. Rolling contact bearings also
known as ball bearings have a handful of tiny hardened steel balls or rollers between the
inner and outer race, these balls are super finished and have less friction compared to the
sliding contact bearings.
6
These bearing have two types of loads acting on them namely Radial and Axial
loads. These loads are calculated while making the gearbox. The outer race of the bearing
are fitted into the casing and the inner race to the shaft.
In a Gearbox, the bearings, shafts, gears and the casing are fitted together with a
transition or Interference Fit. This locks the two mating surfaces with ease and the mating
surface will move together in sync. Along with the tolerances, fits are important. Giving a
loose fit may cause sliding between the mating parts. Too tight a fit between the mating
parts may impose unnecessary loads which may cause failure very soon. Hence limits and
Fits are important while designing the Gearbox. The three type of Fits are namely:
Interference, Transition and Clearance Fit.
Upper Deviation: The algebraic difference between the maximum limit of size (of either
hole or shaft) and the corresponding basic size, like ES, es.
7
Lower Deviation: The algebraic difference between the minimum limit of size (of either
hole or shaft) and the corresponding basic size, like EI, ei.
Fundamental Deviation: It is one of the two deviations which is chosen to define the
position of the tolerance zone.
Tolerance: The algebraic difference between upper and lower deviations. It is an
absolute value.
Limits of Size: There are two permissible sizes for any particular dimension between
which the actual size lies, maximum and minimum.
Basic Shaft and Basic hole: The shafts and holes that have zero fundamental deviations.
The basic hole has zero lower deviation whereas, the basic shaft has zero upper deviation.
1. Clearance - the hole is larger than the shaft, enabling the two parts to slide and /
or rotate when assembled.
2. Transition - the hole is fractionally smaller than the shaft and mild force is
required to assemble / disassemble.
8
3. Interference - the hole is smaller than the shaft and high force and / or heat is
required to assemble / disassemble.
An all-terrain vehicle (ATV), also known as a quad, quad bike, three-wheeler, and
four-wheeler is a vehicle that is designed to go on any Terrain or any obstacle that comes
in front it. Many event of off road Racing is conducted across India. Baja SAE INDIA is
conducted every year in the month of January. The type of Off Road vehicle is known as
Baja. These vehicles use Briggs & Stratton 305cc 8HP Engine driven Reduction
Gearbox. For such vehicles, high torque is required as opposed to speed.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
John M. Hawkins [5] simplified the design of a gearbox and made it more
compact for usage in low power vehicles like Mopeds and Forklifts. He even analyzed
the current flaws in reduction gearbox which were either reduced or nullified in his
design. His design was so compact that it is being used in Helicopters to increase the
torque which has reduced the startup time of the rotors.
Ralph E.Taggert [8] made a detailed experimental study on ‘Forces that affect the
operation and efficiency of reduction Gearbox’ that contributes the complete information
about a single stage reduction gearbox that includes dimensions of the real time
gyroplane parts, the parts used in the Gearbox, assembly of individual components of the
Gearbox, Gearbox mounting, VT mounting and Differential mounting in Automobiles.
Sellgren, U.; Akerblom, M. [9] have done extensive studies on the gearbox to
study the origin of noise at high speeds. Noises in gearbox is a sign of inefficient
operation and faster wear of components. It has been observed that the origin of noises is
from improper meshing of gears in the assembly. This mostly happens due to not giving
10
proper clearances between gear train that cause either huge Backlash or interference
hence leading to faster wear.
Canonsburg [10] made a detailed study on ‘ANSYS Workbench’ that includes the
process of ANSYS workbench Project, Project schematic, Toolbox, Modal Analysis, and
Configuring ANSYS Workbench. ANSYS workbench users interface
Todd Grimm [11] made a study on ‘Experimental Analysis on Aluminum Alloys’
which includes the advantages of Aluminum Alloys, Heat treatment methods and their
outcomes.
Ramesh Banothu [12] worked on ‘Design and analysis of Gear Shaft’ in which he
concluded that Vibrations can be transmitted from the casing to the gears through the
gear shafts. He even conclude that the shafts are subjected to bending moments and slight
torsion when there are at least two gears mounted on one shaft.
Vilas Warudkar [13] from his study ‘Design and Optimization of 2-Stage
Reduction Gearbox’ has concluded the methodology to make a conventional Reduction
gearbox for Water pumps. This Gearbox did not use any alloys for materials and did not
consider vibrations or Thermal analysis inside the Gearbox.

CHAPTER 3
3.1 OBJECTIVES:
To Design, Analyze the problems being faced in an ATV and overcome all those
flaws. Major flaws include weight, size and cost. Occasional breakdowns and constant
maintenance have been observed. Design plan includes research and material selection
for the Casing, Gears and shafts. Gear oil selection is also based on market survey and
behavior of fluids at a given temperature range. Once the material is selected, the
calculations for minimum dimensions will be calculated. Standard dimensions similar to
the minimum dimensions are selected and modelled in a CAD software. Various profiles
have been created on the components to ensure structural integrity and less weight.
The gears and shafts present in the reduction gearbox undergo various forces
acting over them. The two stage reduction gearbox consists of three shafts and four gears
(two driver gears, two driven gears). The driver gear of the first stage of reduction which
is probably the smallest gear in the entire reduction gear box is present on the input shaft
which gets the input from the continuously variable transmission (CVT). And the second
shaft also called as the intermediate shaft consists of the driven gear of the first stage of
reduction and also the driver gear of the second stage of reduction which are termed to be
as compound gears. Finally, the third shaft called as the output shaft consists of the
driven gear of the second stage of reduction which could be the largest gear. This output
shaft delivers the required rpm to the wheels via a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) which
is connected by a chain drive from the output shaft of the gearbox.
When certain RPM is given as an input to the driver gear of the first stage of
reduction, it starts rotating in a particular direction by causing a rotational moment on the
driven gear of the first stage of reduction. This happens as the teeth of the gears are
engaged with each other and the teeth of the pinion (driver gear) exerts some force on the
teeth of the gear (driven gear).Now, as the driven gear of the first stage of reduction is in
compound connection with the driver gear of the second stage of reduction. It also starts
to rotate causing its teeth to apply some rotational force on the teeth of driven gear of the
second stage of reduction. All these components are positioned in a gearbox casing which
is made of seven series aluminum so that it could accommodate the load an also it
comprises of less weight. The shafts are supported with the grooves that are created on
the casing of the gearbox with the help of bearings. The bearings used could vary as per
the requirements, i.e. the load acting on them.
12
Now, considering all these parameters the calculations are done and the required
parameters are identified such as the load or the torque acting on the components and the
material of the gear and shaft are selected. The selection of material includes various
parameters such as weight, cost, machinability, strength, etc. Then, based on the heat
dissipated and lubrication required the gear oil is selected.
Many parameters have been gathered from the present ATVs. Table 3.1 mentions
the requirements that should be fulfilled by a Gearbox the final product should comply
with all these parameters. The components must structurally comply without any failure.
13
3.3 MATERIAL SELECTION
Material selection plays an important role. Material takes up most of the cost
required to make a gear box. So many alloys are available in the market at low prices.
But keeping the weight in mind as well as performance an optimal material that can
sustain the above requirements are selected for each component of the Gearbox. In order
to reduce the variety of materials that are being used, it was decided that only one
material should be used for all the shafts, another for Gear and another for the casing.
For choosing the material and designing the gears, the following data should be given:
In the design of a gear drive, the following data is usually given:
1. The power to be transmitted.
2. The speed of the driving gear,
3. The speed of the driven gear or the velocity ratio, and
4. The center distance.
(a) The gear teeth should have sufficient strength so that they will not fail under static
loading or dynamic loading during normal running conditions.
(b) The gear teeth should have wear characteristics so that their life is satisfactory.
(c) The use of space and material should be economical.
14
(d) The alignment of the gears and deflections of the shafts must be considered because
they effect on the performance of the gears.
(e) The lubrication of the gears must be satisfactory.
The material used for shafts should have the following properties:
1. It should have high strength.
2. It should have good machinability.
3. It should have low notch sensitivity factor.
4. It should have good heat treatment properties.
5. It should have high wear resistant properties.

The casing should be light weigh as possible but even should comply with the structure
loads. Since Cast Irons are brittle and develop cracks due to constant vibrations. Steel is a
good replacement but the weight is still heavy. So opting for aluminum is a suitable
option. Pure Aluminum has less Yield and has more chances of failure so we opted for
aluminum alloys that offer high strength to weight ratio. Aluminum density is 2700
Kg/m3.The choice is between six series or 7 series Aluminum Alloy. These alloys can be
hardened after machining to get full strength.
7071-T6 [11]:
This alloy has a very good corrosion resistance and finishing ability, welding goes
good too. Typical applications of this alloy is aircrafts, Truck bodies and frames.

Gear oil plays an important role in cooling and lubricating the inside components
of the gearbox. From the previous Baja vehicle, it has been recorded that the Gearbox
reaches up to 180°𝐶.So the major parameters that needs to be considered is Flash point of
the oil. Viscosities vary based on the temperatures. Figure 3.3 shows the rate of change
for different types of oils over a range of temperatures. The flash point should be at least
a minimum of 200°𝐶 on the safe side to remove the risk of fire accidents. Through
thorough research, we shortlisted the oils asper the requirement. They are EP 18, EP 90,
and EP 140.
17
Table 3.7: Properties of EP series Oils
PROPERTIES EP 80 EP 90 EP 140
Since the bearings come in standard sizes, for the fit between inner race and
shafts, we choose the Hole basis system. This mean the shaft should be manufactured
accordingly to satisfy the fit. In between the outer race of the bearing and the Casing, the
outer race has a fixed dimension. Hence, we should follow Shaft basis and machine our
hole accordingly.
18
Regarding the type of fit that needed to be imposed, giving a clearance fit may
cause sliding between the mating parts. But if we give an Interference fit, the interference
may be so much that they may imply unnecessary forces on the mating parts. Last year
vehicle has a Tight Interference fit between the Inner race of bearing and the Shaft. Due
to this, a force was implied on the inner race in a radially outward direction. This put
radial pressure on the ball bearings because of which the Bearing failed every 3
Kilometers of test run. Hence, it is decided to use a transition fit and select a tolerance
grade based on previous research. Figure 3.4 and 3.5 compares the different types of bias
systems used for mating components.

MODELLING OF TWO SATGE REDUCTION GEARBOX IN
SOLIDWORKS
5.1 INTRODUCTION TO SOLIDWORKS:
SolidWorks is a multiplatform software suite for Computer Aided Design (CAD)
and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) developed by a French company Dassault
Systems. SolidWorks is a low risk investment one can expand as value is demonstrated. It
is scalable to all organizational levels, degree of analysis complexity and stage of product
development.
1. Part Modelling
2. Assembly Module
3. Drafting
4. SolidWorks Simulation
5. SolidWorks Flow simulation
Part Modelling: This module is used to model intricate shapes and parts that are
made to make a component. It is the first module in the software and is most widely used.
The 2D sketches are converted into 3 dimensional objects. The final finishing of each
component is done by this module including assigning the material and the desired
colour. The product or prototype produced is called a part.
Assembly Module: This module is to make a final product by assembling all the
parts modelled in the Prat modelling module. Assembly module provides us with various
modules that help in assembling or mating two specific components. Assembly is
essential because it helps in finding collision or interference between the components.
After assign all the components, we study the nature of movement of the components
inside our product.

of an Assembly. It is a very essential tool to know all the specifications of a component.
They software directly generates the Projections of the component based on the Part
designed. It is a faster process to generate Production Drawings.

5.2.3 Modelling the Gearbox Casing:
The Gearbox casing shall cover the insides of the Gearbox without any interaction
to the surroundings. The Casing should be an Air tight container so that the Gear oil does
not leak out. It is not possible to manufacture a casing in one piece. This is in order to
open the gearbox during the maintenance. Hence, the casing has to be split into two parts
and have been modelled as shown in the Figure 5.10. These two split parts are joined
using the M6 Nut and Bolt that are readily available in the market. First, the total center
distances between all the stages have been calculated manually. Based on those distances,
Holes have been developed on the casings to accommodate and mount the shafts. The
inside profile of the casing is developed in such a way that it accommodates enough oil to
cool down the moving components. The profile even helps in better flow of the oil inside.
A protrusion is given at the top of the casing to pour oil into the Gearbox. Tiny and thick
brackets have been given at the ends of the outer casing profile in order to accommodate
holes for the bolt and nuts.As shown in the figure 5.11 Cylinder like structures have been
protruding on the sides of the casing so that bearing can be properly fit inside for the
shaft. They even help in protecting the bearing from dust. At the bottom of the casing, a
12 mm protrusion has been given that accommodates 10 mm holes. These holes are the
designated mounting points for the gearbox on the frame of an ATV. Excess material has
been removed at places where the stress induced us very less .A smoother shape is given
to the casing to make it look aesthetically pleasing.

5.3 ASSEMBLY OF THE PRODUCT:
The assembling of all components is done using the Assembly module of
SolidWorks. Rough dimensions of the bearings have also been modeling to ensure
perfect assembly. Few interferences have been detected between the gear tooth and the
casings but the dimensions have been modified to the casing. After deep inspections of
each part, the assembly is not interfering with the components. From the assembly, it is
decided that the Gearbox occupies least space. The final prototype has been shown in the
Figure 5.12 Rigorous analysis will be conducted on the Assembly. All the components
are shown in the exploded view in the Figure 5.13.

CHAPTER 6
ANALYSIS & RESULTS
6.1 FORCES ACTING ON THE GEARS:
The gears inside are subjected to high torque during the operation. Due to the
High Torque produced, the gear is subjected to twisting moment from the center of the
axis. Since the center of the gear is welded to the shaft, there is negligible resistance
offered by the gear against the torque. However, since there is high torque variation from
the CVT the moment of Inertia of the Gear may resist the torque for a small amount of
time (milliseconds).Thought the shaft is attached to Roller bearings that have negligible
friction, it is essential to perform torque analysis on the gears assuming that the shaft is
fixed rigidly. Different Gears bear different Torques and the loading conditions are
applied separately for each Gear. The Loading conditions are mentioned in Table 6.1.
Table 6.1: Loading conditions applied on Gears.
Part Name Loading Condition Constrain
Gear 1 12000 N-mm Fixed at Shaft Hole
Gear 2 24000 N-mm Fixed at Shaft Hole
Gear 3 16000 N-mm Fixed at Shaft Hole
Gear 4 40000 N-mm Fixed at Shaft Hole
Results:
The shafts do not fail and have Yielded a Factor of Safety between 2.6 to 4.The
deflection is negligible. These gears are safe for the worst operating conditions. Figure
6.1 shows that the maximum stress occurs at the base of gear tooth. Other Results have
been mentioned in detail in the Table 6.4.

6.2 FORCES ACTING ON THE SHAFTS:
The gear is welded to the shaft and then Press fitted to the bearings. Only one
degree of freedom is not arrested by the assembly—Rotation of shafts. The shafts are
made to rate freely on the bearings with the help of the torque transmitted by the gears.
There are three major types of forces acting on these shafts, namely—Torsion, Pre
loading of shaft ends due to press fit of bearings and the weight excreted by the Gears.
Since the pre load force excreted by the bearings cannot be calculated, the main loads
focused on are Torsion and the weight of gears. For the intermediate Shaft, There are two
Gears mounted on it. Hence, the summation of both the torques generated by the gears
are applied. Table 6.3 shows the Forces Applied are the torque generated and the weight
of the gears.

Results:
The shafts do not fail and have Yielded a Factor of Safety between 2.6 to 3.1.The
deflection is negligible. These shafts are safe for the worst operating conditions. Other
Results have been mentioned in detail in the Table 6.4.

oil is also added to the loading condition. The aim of the analysis is to make sure that the
casing absorbs all the vibrations without disturbing the shafts and bearings due to which
eccentricity or misalignment takes place. The material of the casing is 7071-T6
Aluminum Alloy that has an Endurance limit of 121MPa [11].The loading conditions for
the Assembly are mentioned in Table 6.5.

Result:
The study of the oil flow is observed in Figure 6.19.It has been observed that the
oil flow is able to cover all the insides of the casing at medium to highspeeds. The figure
6.20 depicts the velocity contours across the rotating components. It is observed that the
velocity of oil is maximum at the periphery of the gear showing that the oils is
propagating across the gear tooth effectively. At the base of the casing where the oil is
accumulated, there is no stagnancy of oil showing that the oil is being continuously
recycled throughout. As per the viscosity point of view, the oil is viscous enough to
maintain the surface tension when the oil is accumulated between two teeth. That main
force that is driving the major part of the oil flow is the intermediate shaft and the stepped
gears mounted on it is observed that the maximum velocity of the oil is occurring around
the intermediate gears. Therefore, it is concluded that the Intermediate shaft plays an
important role in oil propagation and oil flow is efficient in this setup.

CHAPTER: 7
FUTURE SCOPE
The Gearbox designed is lightweight, compact and gives more performance than
the present Reduction Gearboxes. However, there still scope for better and more precise
design in the following areas.
The Gear oil has be chosen based upon the operating temperature of the gearbox.
The flow simulation was done to understand the flow. The behavior of oil changes with
respect to the operating temperature. Simulating Flow of Oil with varying temperatures
with respect to time will give more accurate results.
The brackets for the Bolts to join the casing have been protruded outwards to
make sure that the oil flow inside the casing is efficient. The brackets should redesigned
in such a way that they do not have to protrude outside completely. This reduces the
height and makes the Gearbox look aesthetically pleasing.

CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSION
Today’s Gearboxes in All Terrain Vehicles occupy more space, heavy and have
limited life based on the operation. Operating these Gearboxes for continuously will
produce heat that may affect the structural integrity. The Reduction Gearbox designed to
be coupled with a CVT that can vary the transmission ratios. The transmission ratio of
CVT reduces as the Engine RPM increases. Based on the analytical calculations and
Finite Element Analysis we can conclude that all the components are not bound to failure
within the given working parameters. The Gearbox is lightweight, compact and has
increased life over the conventional Manual Gearboxes.
