Introduction
Gear box is a speed and torque changing device between the engine and the driving wheels. Purposes of Gear box:
It exchanges engine power for greater torque and thus provides a mechanical advantages to drive the vehicle under different conditions. It exchanges forward motion to reverse motion. It provides a neutral position to disallow power flow to the rest of power train.
Introduction
The vehicles require high torque when climbing the hills and when starting, even at low speeds. When running at high speeds on level roads, high torque is not required because of momentum. The torque, which the engine can produce is limited to such as amount that the engine by itself can not develop the torque necessary for starting and for climbing hills.
Disadvantages:
Noisy in operation. Gear ratios not being continuous but being in steps, we need to shift gears each time when vehicle is in running conditions.
Gear ratio(reverse gear) = (N1/N2) * (N6/N7) Gear ratio(reverse gear) = (T2/T1) * (T7/T6)

A = Engine shaft, Gears B, C, D, E = free gears on the main shaft, F1 & F2 = free to slide on splines on the main shaft, G1 & G2 = ring shaped members having internal teeth fit onto the external teeth members F1 & F2 resp., K1 & K2 = dog teeth on B and D resp., S1 & S2 = forks, T1 & T2 = balls supported by springs, prevent the sliding of members G1(G2) on F1(F2), M1, M2, N1, N2, P1, P2, R1, R2 are frictional surfaces.
