Overview

This text seeks to impart lines of reasoning, demonstrate approaches and provide comprehensive data for practical tasks. Although much of the content is concerned with aspects of technology and production that are of general validity, and hence of continuing relevance, there is also a chapter on various ""state-of-the-art"" production designs. The strong market dynamics at the end of the millennium are reflected in numerous new transmission types, and major lines of evolution treated include the increasing use of electronics, light-weight construction and the automation of manual gearboxes. The expertise recorded here mainly springs from joint projects between German and international car and gear manufacturers.
