	Howstuffworks "How Manual Transmissions Work"
		The transmission allows the gear ratio between the engine and the drive wheels to change as the car speeds up and slows down.
		The transmission is connected to the engine through the clutch.
		A five-speed transmission applies one of five different gear ratios to the input shaft to produce a different rpm value at the output shaft.

		Contemporary automotive manual transmissions are generally available with between 4 and 6 forward gears and one reverse gear, although manual transmissions have been built with as few as 2 and as many as 7 gears.
		Transmissions equipped with this shift pattern usually feature a lockout mechanism that requires the driver to depress a switch or the entire gear lever when entering reverse, so that he does not accidentally select it when trying to find first gear.
		Manual transmissions are more difficult to learn to drive as one needs to develop a feel for properly engaging the clutch.

	Clutch and Manual Transmission/Transaxle
		The five-speed transmission's low or first gear with a ratio of 3.61 to 1 means that for 3.61 revolutions of the input or clutch shaft (coupled to the engine by the clutch), the output shaft of the transmission will rotate once.
		When the transmission is shifted into the high gear in the four-speed transmission, and fourth gear in the five-speed transmission, the gear ratio is usually 1 to 1 (direct drive).
		When the transmission and the drive axle are combined in one unit, it is called a "transaxle." The transaxle is bolted to the engine and has the advantage of being an extremely rigid unit of engine and driveline components.

	Manual transmission at AllExperts
		Manual transmissions come in two basic types: simple unsynchronized systems, where gears are spinning freely and their relative speeds must be synchronized by the operator to avoid noisy and damaging "clashing" and "grinding" when trying to mesh the rotating teeth; and synchronized systems, which eliminate this necessity while changing gears.
		Manual transmissions are typically compared to automatic transmissions, as the two represent the majority of options available to the typical consumer.
		Manual transmissions are lubricated with gear oil, which must be changed periodically in some cars, although not as frequently as the automatic transmission fluid in a vehicle so equipped.

		Contemporary automotive manual transmissions are generally available with between 4 and 6 forward gears and one reverse gear, although manual transmissions have been built with as few as 2 and as many as 7 gears.
		In most vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, the engine and transmission are separated by a clutch, controlled by a pedal on the left hand side of the driver's footwell (usually operated with the left foot) that modulates the transfer of power between the two subsystems.
		Manual transmissions are lubricated with gear oil, which must be changed periodically, although not as frequently as the automatic transmission fluid in a vehicle so equipped.

	Feel of the Road - owners of manual transmission cars American Demographics - Find Articles
		Driving a manual transmission car has always been an interactive experience, what with one hand on the wheel, the other on the stick, and both feet alternating between the clutch and gas pedals.
		Manual transmission owners are more likely than average Americans to do their own financial planning, engage in solo leisure pursuits (such as backpacking, jogging, and skiing), and cook from scratch.
		And manual transmission owners are almost as scarce in coastal cities like New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, which are home to recent immigrants who perhaps lack the money and driving permits necessary for car ownership.

		From the most basic four-speed manual in a car from the '60s to the most high-tech six-speed in a car of today, the principles of a manual gearbox are the same.
		To prevent gears from grinding or clashing during engagement, a constant-mesh, fully "synchronized" manual transmission is equipped with synchronizers.
		Clearly a slick-shifting manual transmission is one of the main components in a fun-to-drive car, along with a powerful engine, confidence-inspiring suspension and competent brakes.

		When the transmission is in the proper gear to match the torque range of the engine, acceleration is instantaneous and controlled.
		Dragstrip results speak for themselves; unless it's a clutchless manual transmission, nothing will be as consistent or as strong as a properly built automatic and complementing torque converter.
		He said, "We sell lots of transmissions to kit car builders who understand that you put 15 to 20 percent more power to the ground in a manual than in an automatic, as there is very little parasitic loss in a manual trans system.

		A transmission is a system of parts that connects the engine to the drive wheels of the vehicle.
		This type of transmission is the simplest form because the driver controls the change in the vehicle's speed.

	2.972 How a Manual Transmission Works
		A transmission lets the driver select the ratio between the engine and wheels, so the engine can be run at speeds that provide more power, or at speeds that may be less powerful but allow the engine to operate more efficiently.
		The input shaft is connected to the engine via the clutch, such that when the clutch is engaged, power goes straight from the engine to the input shaft of the transmission, and the crankshaft and input shaft rotate at the same speed.
		Just inside the housing of the transmission, the input shaft is connected to the countershaft (also known as the layshaft), by gears on both shafts, such that whenever the input shaft turns, so does the countershaft, and always at a fixed speed ratio.

	Swap in a Manual Transmission
		Driving with a manual transmission requires thought, such as knowing when to upshift, planning those downshifts, and developing a finese for using the clutch instead of giving your passengers whiplash.
		Changing from an automatic transmission to a manual transmission is intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be difficult.
		There’s also the need for a manual transmission bellhousing, which is different from what we find with the C4, C6, or FMX automatics.

		For example, the distance from the front face of the transmission case to the transmission mounting pad on a short-extension three- or four-speed gearbox is the same, so no crossmember modifications were necessary.
		There are also two different transmission output shaft diameters—a 1.08-inch-diameter pinion for light-duty transmissions, such as the various three-speed manual boxes and the A-904 TorqueFlite, and a 1.25-inch-diameter pinion for the heavy-duty A-833 and A-727 TorqueFlite transmissions.
		There are two ways to address this larger bearing retainer, if you plan to mate the transmission to a big- or small-block V8 bellhousing, which will have either a 4.354-inch or a 4.807-inch pilot hole, depending on the size of the drive pinion bearing that was in the original transmission.
