Gear Set Shell



Gear Set Shell

This gearbox employs a gear set shell made of thin-cast aluminium, in order to reduce oil dilution and drag losses, thereby increasing efficiency. As this design impairs lubrication, however, this shell-like lining serves to collect oil and to channel it to specific lubrication points. Some of the shift rods are also installed in bearings in the gear set shell.
