Manual Gearshift:

A manual gearbox uses a driver-operated clutch that is engaged and disengaged by a foot pedal. The clutch regulates the power transfer from the engine to the gearbox and gear selection is operated by hand operated gear stick.
A conventional manual gearbox has either 4, 5 or 6-speeds. Other options include automated gearboxes such as automatic or semi-automatic or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Most manual gearboxes allow the driver to select any forward gear at any time. Some only allow the driver to select the next-higher or next-lower gear. This type of gearbox is known as a sequential manual transmission.
In a manual transmission, the flywheel is attached to the engine’s crankshaft and spins along with it. When the engine is running and the clutch is engaged the flywheel spins the clutch plate and hence the gearbox shaft.

Common Faults:

The most common fault that a gearbox may suffer with is a whirring or droning noise. This can eventually lead onto a gear selector fault. The gears may be stiff or the gearbox crunches when a gear is selected. It may jump out of gear or it may be leaking oil. All these faults can only be dealt with by the removal of the gearbox.

On many occasions when replacing or repairing a gearbox it is sensible to replace the clutch at the same time. This is because it will only cost the vehicle owner the price of the clutch kit because the time involved in replacing the gearbox is quite often the same time to replace a clutch.
