Abstract
New 6-speed and 5-speed manual transmissions have been developed for a few FF cars that match up with the high revolutions and high power of the new i-VTEC engine. The development objectives were to improve fuel efficiency and enable smoother transmission shiftings as well as to achieve a compact design. In order to achieve these targets, the transmission employs technologies to reduce friction, weight and transmission length, and also to create a large capacity synchronizer system enabling high rotational speed.
