Sequential gear transmission is a type of manual transmission that allows the rider to select gears in a sequence or order. Unlike traditional manual gear transmission, the rider cannot skip gears. This technique of switching gears is particular to this type of gear transmission which requires a selector shaft to shift gears up or down.

Sequential transmission has become popular in motorcycles and high-performance cars that are used in motorsports because it makes it much faster to shift gears. In motorcycles, the rider is given complete control of the gear shift, which makes it easier for him to focus on the brakes and clutch on the handlebar. Shifting gears with a sequential gearbox is also much easier since the gear changing happens in a sequence. This way, the rider need not pay too much attention to gear shifting and can instead focus more on controlling the vehicle.

Another advantage is that the sequential transmission is also consistent. All the rider has to do is push the level forward to change gears. The hand location is also consistent. With the traditional H-pattern transmission, the shift lever location changes. So, the rider has to pay attention as to where he has put his hand based on what gear the vehicle is in. Another major advantage is that this form of transmission is safer. In case you mis-shift gears in an H-pattern transmission during a race, you could damage the engine and cause an accident. With sequential transmission, you have no chances of mis-shifting gears.

A sequential gearbox is a form of manual transmission which is used in high-performance cars and motorcycles that are used for motor racing. It is a non-traditional type of transmission where the gears are arranged in order or in a sequence which makes it impossible for the rider to directly access specific gears. This type of transmission is also known as sequential manual transmission or sequential manual gearbox.

When a rider uses the traditional form of manual transmission, they can change from one gear to another using the gear shifter. Before shifting to a new gear, the rider must disengage the clutch which disengages the running engine from transmission which stops the transmission of torque. This kind of gear transmission is normally called an H-pattern. Sequential transmission was introduced as the traditional method requires the rider to be extra attentive and dexterous, especially while turning sharp corners during races. This form of transmission gives the rider complete control of the gear shifter, allowing him to focus on the clutch and brakes on the handlebar.

Another advantage of the sequential transmission is that it is much faster. For example, if you wanted to shift from the second to third gear on the traditional H-pattern, the rider has to push the shifter up, over, and then up again. This consumes time. With a sequential gearbox, all the rider has to do is push the lever up for every change and down if he wants to shift to a lower gear.

Sequential gear transmission is a type of manual transmission that allows the rider to select gears in an order or sequence. Unlike traditional manual gear transmission, it does not allow the rider to skip gears. This technique of switching gears is particular to this type of gear transmission which requires a selector shaft to shift gears up or down. Sequential transmission has become popular in motorcycles and high-performance cars that are used in motorsports.

 

Overview of the function of sequential transmission

Sequential manual transmission is advantageous because it enables the rider to select the gear directly before or after the gear that is currently engaged. In traditional transmission or H-pattern transmission, the ride has to pull back the shift lever to change to a higher gear or push it forward to move to a lower gear. In true sequential transmission, a ratchet mechanism is used to convert the shift lever’s before and after motion into a rotary motion. This motion turns a selector shaft that has three or four grooves etched around its circumference. The selector forks run through these grooves and they select the next required gear. The selector forks can function directly or using selector rods or pins.

 

These sequential gearboxes are used in most modern motorcycles because it is too inconvenient to use the conventional H-pattern shifter, which also requires a lot more space within the motorcycle’s frame. It also gives the rider complete control over the gear shifter.
