Manual Transmission - Overview
Overview
The MT82 is a fully synchronized 6-speed manual transmission with reverse gear. The name of the MT82 is derived from the distance between the two shafts in the transmission:
M Manual. T Transmission. 82 The distance between the main shaft and the counter shaft in millimeters.
This transmission is a coaxial transmission with three shafts. The input shaft as well as the output shaft lie on a single axis. All gear wheels have helical teeth and are constantly engaged. The transmission is designed for a maximum torque of 480 Nm. In order to ensure secure mounting of the selector rods, they are passed through a centre bearing mounting plate. The center bearing mounting plate is bolted to the housing. All gear selector forks and shift forks are made of forged steel. The main selector shaft is mounted in the center bearing mounting plate. The bearing of the transmission does not require preloading and therefore does not require shims. In order to compensate for the heat expansion of the shafts, they run in one bearing which can slide in its seat and one bearing which is pressed home in its seat. To improve gearshifting, 1st and 2nd gear have triple synchronizers and 3rd and 4th gear have double synchronizers. Only the 5th and 6th gears and the reverse gear have single synchronizers. The transmission fluid is designed to last the entire service life of the transmission and does not need to be changed during servicing.
Identification Tags
The transmission identification tag is located on the RH side of the transmission, near the driveshaft flange.
