Abstract

Despite the rapid development of automatic transmission technology, the traditional engine-matched manual transmission (MT) will continue to play an important role for some time to come, mainly because of its low cost, high efficiency and reliable operation. At present, 5 speed MT is mainly used in China, and some cars start to carry 6 speed MT, covering SUV, middle-sized and compact vehicles. The 6 speed MT will gradually become the mainstream. ZF and BMW are developing the 7 speed MT.
