However, Premier incorporated the Nissan A12 ( 1, 171 cc and 52 bhp ) powertrain instead of the original Fiat engine along with a Nissan manual gearbox.

Elimination of the gearbox represents a significant reduction in powertrain weight and complexity, and also removes a notable source of parasitic losses.

Like the ill-fated De Lorean DMC-12, which used the same PRV powertrain, the engine was mounted longitudinally in the rear, driving forward to the wheels through a manual 5-speed gearbox.

It was later upgraded to Mk II specifications with a 7. 0 liter ( 427ci ) engine and a standard four ratio Kar Kraft gearbox, however the car kept specific features such as its open roof and lightweight chassis.

This highly popular car was made with off-road use in mind, featuring a gearbox with a four-wheel-drive selector lever as well as a low-and high-range selector lever.

For open wheel racing, 1967's revolutionary STP-Paxton Turbocar fielded by racing and entrepreneurial legend Andy Granatelli and driven by Parnelli Jones nearly won the Indianapolis 500 ; the Pratt & Whitney ST6B-62 powered turbine car was almost a lap ahead of the second place car when a gearbox bearing failed just three laps from the finish line.

On the Continent Eaton's Twinsplitter gearbox was an option.

ZF's new 16S221 gearbox was fitted and an innovation was the hydraulic gearshift developed with Konsberg of Norway.

** 4 or 5 forward synchromesh, 1 reverse ( 4-speed gearbox was used on early cars )

Walter Becchia was also supposed to design a three-speed gearbox, but managed to design a four-speed for the same space at little extra cost.

The gearbox was a 4-speed manual transmission, an advanced feature on an inexpensive car at the time.

This layout was adopted from the H-van's 3-speed gearbox.

The front inboard brakes were fixed to the gearbox and did not move with the wheels, while the rear brake pipe was coiled multiple times around the rear trailing-arm mounting tube to absorb suspension movement.

1934 saw the launch of the Jowett Kestrel with four-speed gearbox and in 1935 there was the oddly named Weasel sports tourer.

Poor business strategy and direction, over-confidence, was the financially sound company's downfall and even after the engine and gearbox problems were solved the Idle plant was never able to build, or, during 1952, the distribution network to sell, the expected volume.

Their first four-wheeled car was produced in 1913 ; it was a sporty little two-seater with a gearbox on the rear axle.

An agreement was reached with Standard to supply new chassis, the ancient three-speed transaxle was replaced by a modern four-speed gearbox ( built in unit with the engine ), and by 1932 a new range of cars was finally launched.

The Agera features a Koenigsegg developed 5. 0-liter variable geometry twin-turbo V8 engine capable of, coupled to a newly developed 7-speed gearbox.

The 95 featured an all new cab developed jointly with ENASA of Spain, a revised version of the 11. 6 litre ATI engine rated at 310, 350 and 380 bhp, and 16 speed ZF gearbox.

Daimler became a proponent of the Wilson self changing gearbox matched with Fottinger's fluid flywheel further developed from Vulcan's and their own patents.

Like the Mini, the 128 has a transverse-mounted engine, however, the significant breakthrough with the 128 was the use of unequal length drive shafts and an ingenious clutch release mechanism originally developed for the Autobianchi Primula which allowed the engine and gearbox to be located side by side, a layout which has since become ubiquitous for small cars.

The gearbox is proprietary and was developed by Weismann.

The CC8S sports a Supercharged Ford Modular 4. 7 L DOHC V8 made of cast aluminium with 4 valves per cylinder and carbon fiber covers weighting, with a compression rate of 8. 6: 1 it produces at 6500 rpm and at 5000 rpm, redline is reached at 7300rpm, said power goes to the rear wheels only, through a 6 Speed CIMA developed manual gearbox.

The factory gradually developed this machine from the " A " series and variants ( A, AC2-coil ignition, two-speed gearbox, AC3 – three speed gearbox, etc.

The 1. 4 L ( 1397 cc ) OHV engine, mated to a five-speed gearbox, was based on the Renault " Sierra " pushrod engine, but having hemispherical combustion chambers and featured a crossflow cylinder head and developed, twice as much as a standard 1. 1 L ( 1108 cc ) Renault 5.

Power was provided from a 954 cc Douvrin engine called the PSA X engine, an all-aluminium alloy, chain driven overhead cam, with gearbox in the sump, sharing engine oil, which was jointly developed with Renault.

The 1960s Austin Mini / Austin 1100 compact and innovative automatic gearbox, developed by Automotive Products ( with a conventional epicyclic / torque converter coupling ) was much less efficient at transmitting drive.

Featuring electronically controlled throttle-body fuel injection, it developed a peak power output of and of torque at 1400 rpm, and was coupled to a new electronically controlled four-speed automatic gearbox, developed by ZF Friedrichshafen.

( the engine had originated in 1953 in the Standard Eight in 803 cc form ) A conventional OHV four-cylinder unit, it developed with the single Stromberg carburettor ( also as used in the Herald 13 / 60 ) and was mated to a 4-speed all-synchromesh gearbox.

Working with Jon Whyte, a British engineer who worked with Benetton Formula One racing cars in gearbox design, Marin developed a single-pivot rear suspension.

The gearbox itself is a six-speed Automated Sequential Gearbox ( electrohydraulic transmission ) operated with paddle-shifters developed and constructed in-house by Toyota.

During 1934, the Cadillac transmission group had developed a step-ratio gearbox that would shift automatically under full torque.

This cycle later developed gearbox problems.

In the early 1980s this transmission was developed for urban buses in the UK as the Maxwell, with a four-speed gearbox.

Bombardier Ltd, at the Plattsburg, N. Y. plant where the Acela was produced, developed a prototype ( JetTrain ) which combined a Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100 gas turbine and a diesel engine with a single gearbox powering four traction motors identical to those in Acela.

As a question of production logic, they had to use existing Renault parts, and that meant the new engine being developed for the Dauphine, but adapting it for a front drive van was not simply a matter of moving it and turning it around, and therefore they had to match it to a new gearbox, which gave them the opportunity to choose gear ratios to suit the van's needs.

This engine, an inverted three-cylinder water-cooled two-stroke unit with dual ignition and a 2. 7: 1 reduction gearbox, was developed from Hewland's existing two-cylinder microlight engine.
