Chapter Two: General Description of Manual Gearbox 
 
I. General Description 
The gearbox is a five-speed manual gearbox. All gears are provided with a synchronizer 
except the reverse gear. The reverse gear is fixed onto the shaft and the reverse idler 
wheel is supported by the reverse idler wheel shaft. The gearbox body is made of cast 
iron and has roller bearing hole and bracket on it. The gearbox body consists of two parts.
