Transmission System Description and Operation
The F40-6 is a 6-speed manual transmission. This manual
transmission is an all-synchromesh 3-shaft transmission.
This 3-shaft transmission has the following advantages:
| • |
Improved smooth-running
performance |
| • |
High torque

Location of the Shafts
The following cross-sectional diagram shows the location of the
respective shafts in the M32-6 transmission, as per the 3-shaft
principle.
In this transmission angular cone bearings are used for all
shafts. These bearings require a certain amount of play and
pretension. The required amount of bearing play and pretension is
achieved at the production stage by using shims under the angular
cone bearing in the transmission housing.
Location of the Gear Wheels
This diagram shows the location of the gear wheels on the
respective shaft.

A particular benefit of this 3-shaft transmission is that the
gear wheel for 3rd gear is also used for 5th gear.
