Efficient gearshifting for vehicles with front-wheel or rear-wheel drive.

The 6-speed manual transmission offers a balanced relation between great ride comfort, low fuel consumption and agile handling. The operation via the gearshift lever is effortless and largely free of vibrations. A hydraulic clutch operating system ensures light-touch gear shifting.

The wide ratio range and the gear gradients are finely graduated. This produces a downspeeding effect. This reduces the speed level of the engine, optimises the noise level and therefore increases the driving comfort.

A first gear with a very short ratio makes it easy to manoeuvre and to pull away with power, even on uphill slopes and with a load. The sixth gear, with a long ratio, reduces engine rev at high speeds, while at the same time ensuring low consumption figures and a low level of noise.
