Transmission
Automated manual transmissions (AMTs) with dry clutches are becoming more and more used as an improving add-on solution on classical manual transmission systems and as a reconfiguration element in modern hybrid electric vehicles. Due to the two possible states of the clutch (engaged or not) and to the different gear ratios AMTs can be considered as a particular class of the hybrid systems. The paper presents a gearshift control strategy for modern AMTs. Models of the driveline, of an electrohydraulic engagement actuator and of the dry clutch are detailed and tuned on experimental data. The controller is designed through a hierarchical approach by discriminating among five different AMT operating conditions: engaged, slipping-opening, synchronization, go-to-slipping and slipping-closing. Three cascaded feedback loops are designed respectively on speeds, torques and throwout bearing position. semi-automatic transmission is an electrohydraulic manual transmission (aka sequential transmission). The gear set is almost the same as the conventional transmission system, except that the shifting of the selector is not an 'H' pattern. Instead, all selector forks are connected to a drum (. The drum has several grooves, and each has a ball sliding in it. Each fork hooks up to a ball and can be moved forward and backward when the drum is turning . Based on the pattern of the grooves on the drum, by turning the drum, each fork can move forward and backward in turn, which makes gear selection sequential. Therefore, it is impossible for an electrohydraulic manual transmission to perform a gear shift from 1 stto 3rd or 4th to 2nd. The shifting must be sequential, like 1st'2nd'3rd'4th, or 4th'3rd'2nd'1st.

Calculated by keeping R= 24 R.P.M = 3600 and assuming the engine gearbox has direct drive system of 1:1 ratio. The final transmission selected is Automated Manual Transmission .

The transmission will be imported from Honda Motors as a spare part for Honda Fourtrax Recon ATV. The cost of the transaxle will be around Rs. 36000 including shipping charges . The clutch used will be of Wet-Multi Plate type which is well versed with the transmission system. The whole setup of transmission,mounting ,spares,miscellaneous can be accounted as Rs.70000/-
