ABSTRACT
The method of controlling the clutch is quite simple. The mechanism consists of either a cable or hydraulic system.
9.1.2 Manual gearbox The driver changes the gears of a manual gearbox by moving a handoperated lever called a gear stick or shift lever. All manual gearboxes have a neutral position; three, four or f ve forward gears; and a reverse gear. A few even have six forward gears now. The driver puts the gearbox into neutral as the engine is being started, or when a car is parked with the engine left running ( Figure 9.3 ).
