22 Components of Manual Transmission and Their Functions!

22 Components of Manual Transmission and Their Functions!

4 March 2026 | MyProtection News Jakarta

Car transmissions are divided into two types, which are manual and automatic. Unlike automatic transmissions, manual transmissions consist of more complex components.

The main difference in manual transmissions lies in the way the gears are shifted and the pedals, where the driver must manually operate them to change gears.

Therefore, the components of manual transmissions are generally more complicated compared to those of automatic transmissions. What are these components and their functions? Let’s take a look!

22 Components of Manual Transmission and Their Functions!

1. Transmission Input Shaft

The transmission input shaft is a key component of manual transmissions that connects to the clutch. These components of a manual transmission have the function to rotate the gears in the gearbox.

2. Transmission Gears

The next component is the transmission gears, with their function to convert the engine’s input power into torque output.

This allows the driver to adjust the vehicle’s speed and rotation power according to road conditions.

3. Synchronizer or Adjustment Gear

The synchronizer or adjustment gear functions to equalize the rotational speed between transmission gears, ensuring smooth and safe gear shifts even while the vehicle is moving.

4. Shift Fork

The shift fork functions to move the gears on the shaft, enabling the driver to shift gears as needed.

It serves as the link between the gear lever and the gear mechanism inside the manual transmission.

5. Shift Linkage

The shift linkage ensures that the movement of the gear lever is translated into movement in the shift fork, allowing gear changes to occur.

In short, this component effectively transmits the driver’s commands to the gearbox.

6. Gear Lever or Shift Stick

The gear lever, also called a shift stick, allows the driver to control and shift gears based on road conditions and driving needs.

This component gives the driver direct control over gear changes while driving.

7. Transmission Case

The transmission case protects internal components from dirt and external impacts.

It also serves as a container for the transmission of oil and houses critical parts such as the bearing, the input shaft, and the output shaft.

8. Output Shaft

The output shaft transmits rotational power from the transmission system to the propeller shaft, ultimately driving the wheels.

Additionally, it can serve as a mounting point for the gear stick in a vehicle.

9. Bearings

Bearings in manual transmissions help reduce friction between components such as the input shaft, output shaft, and counter gear.

This ensures smoother operation, minimizes wear and heat, and improves efficiency.

10. Counter Gear

The counter gear transmits power from the input shaft to the output shaft. It allows the transmission to adjust the correct gear ratio to match vehicle speed and engine torque.

This component plays a crucial role in enabling the car to change speed according to the driver’s needs.

In addition to the components above, manual transmissions also consist of various other parts such as the reverse gear, hub slave, speedometer gear, transmission housing, transmission oil seal, control rod, shift rod end, clutch hub sleeve, hub sleeve, shifting key, spring key, and interlock system.

All these components work together to ensure the manual transmission functions are effective and reliable.

Pakai Hand Sanitizer Ada Aturannya Juga, Lho!

Jakarta, 17 Juli 2020 - MyProtection News

Membawa dan menggunakan hand sanitizer merupakan suatu kewajiban saat beraktivitas di tengah pandemin COVID-19. Sama halnya dengan mencuci tangan, ternyata menggunakan hand sanitizer pun ada aturannya. Apakah Anda sudah menggunakannya dengan benar? Cek di bawah ini!

Terlalu sedikit

Saat menggunakan hand sanitizer, penting untuk mengeluarkan isi produk hingga kedua telapak Anda terkena cairan sanitizer dengan sempurna. Lebih baik menggunakan terlalu banyak hand sanitizer dibanding terlalu sedikit.

Gosok selama 20 detik atau hingga kering

Menurut WHO, hand sanitizer harus digosok di tangan selama 20 – 30 detik agar seluruh bagian telapak tangan dan bagian atas tangan terkena cairan dengan baik. Tunggu hingga hang sanitizer kering sebelum menyentuh barang atau permukaan lain. Sehingga hand sanitizer punya waktu untuk bekerja membunuh virus dan kuman yang menempel pada tangan.

Hanya menggunakan hand sanitizer

Ketika bepergian, akses terhadap air dan sabun mungkin saja lebih terbatas. Sebagai alternatif, Anda bisa menggunakan hand sanitizer. Namun, hand sanitizer bukanlah pengganti cuci tangan. Mencuci tangan dengan air mengalir dan sabun lebih efektif dalam membunuh kuman dan lebih disarankan oleh petugas kesehatan.

Jangan lupa, dalam pencegahan penyebaran COVID-19, menggunakan hand sanitizer saja tidak cukup. Anda wajib memperhatikan protocol kesehatan lainnya seperti menggunakan masker dan senantiasa menjaga jarak.

Terlalu sering digunakan hingga tangan kering dan luka

Menggunakan hand sanitizer berbasis alkohol memang bisa membuat tangan terasa kering dan perih. Jika tangan Anda terasa sangat kering, maka gunakan lotion pelembap. Tangan yang kering dan perih rentan terhadap luka. Sedangkan luka bisa menjadi jalan masuk bagi kuman dan virus ke dalam tubuh. Jadi, jaga kebersihan serta kelembapan tangan Anda.

Salam,
Sahabat MyProtection
