CABLE MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER/35-t/Bus/Van/3-t/46-t VW TOPRAN 409 291

Despite the growing popularity of automatic transmissions, manual transmissions are still in demand. Specialists from automotive concerns and engineering companies are working to improve such units. However, the principle of their operation remains the same: the gears are selected manually, which means that the driver also selects the gear ratio depending on driving conditions, speed, etc. In this case, the torque changes in steps. Many budget car models are equipped with TOPRAN brand Cable, manual transmission. They are often called cable controls. As you might guess from the name, gear shifting is carried out by means of a special cable.

The principles of the manual transmission cable

The cable drive in gearboxes has several advantages. The gearbox and engine generate less vibration that is transmitted to the car body. By itself, the cable can dampen vibrations transmitted through the traction link of the unit. It also eliminates small vibrations that would otherwise be transmitted to the clutch pedals and even to the seats.
