How a Sequential Gearbox Works – Part 2

Sequential Gearboz

 

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.
