How a Sequential Manual Transmission (SMT) Works? Explained

How Sequential Transmission Works?
A sequential manual transmission is unsynchronized and allows the driver to select either the next gear (e.g. shifting from first gear to second gear) or the previous gear (e.g., shifting from third gear to second gear), operated either via electronic paddle-shifters mounted behind the steering wheel or with a gear lever.
They provide the best of both worlds, smooth automatic operation in normal driving and lightning-fast gear changes while going flat-out. Unlike a dual-clutch, which uses helical-style gears, a sequential one has straight-cut gears, meaning less power loss traveling through the transmission into the axles.
What are the benefits of a sequential transmission?
Unlike a manual transmission, where there is a significant stop in torque transfer, the sequential gearbox does not require you to stop or slow down to change gears. Thus, you are able to increase or decrease your speed without stopping or experiencing a drop in speed.

Great video. But you should've also discussed the negatives of sequentials. Not too friendly fot daily driving, very loud, brutal shifts, very expensive and high maintenance. Also, some seqs still have clutch pedals and even pro drivers use it when downshifting.

or you could use quick shifter or even just drive smoother, no car drives like a F1 car all by itself

Yeah thuds are annoying in sequential and you use quick shifter like in 390 duke for upshift without clutch but downshift is nuts hard in sequential when you shift down or up if speed doesnot matches in downshifting thuds annoying as f and make you think the gearbox is damaged and also its noisy in upshifts in low gears and usually it wears drive terrain This is what I have expirenced in motorcycle though I don't know about sequential in cars btw

@@heheboyholaamigo8742 you'd feel the same thuds in a car. That's really a trait of sequentials, especially dogboxes. The gears just lock in right away for instant torque transfer unlike helicals which are used for the daily cars that offer smooth transitions. It's also even more noisy in cars.

@brianb-p6586 2 жыл бұрын

Whether the gears are straight-cut or helical has nothing to do with the method of engaging gears (dog rings or synchros) and nothing to do with the shift control mechanism (H-pattern or sequential). It is common for the same transmissions which have sequential shifters (mostly motorcycles and racing cars) to have dog rings and to have straight-cut gears, while more common automotive transmissions with H-pattern shifters to have synchronizers and helical gears, but these design features are not dependent on each other.

Helical gears mesh together in small segments at a time while straight-cut teeth are in contact with each other fully and for a longer period of time which makes them to create a hell of a lot of noise. They are not used for regular cars as they are not known for silent operation.

@@marlo209 All of them have a neutral somewhere. Typically between 1st and 2nd gear as on all motorcycles. All manual transmissions, whether sequential or H pattern, have a clutch pedal/lever. You need it at the very least anytime you take off from a stand still. You can use it in any gear but if you rev match or don't care about the longevity of your transmission, you don't have to use it after your tires have momentum.

@MasterKeyMagic 2 жыл бұрын

@@marlo209 Cars with manual sequentials will have a reverse gear somewhere, usually below 1st gear. They do not shift themselves. If you get off the highway in 6th gear and come to a complete stop, and you didnt down shift, you will stall in 6th gear. You do not need to apply the break to operate the shifter in anyway. Its not like an automatic at all. Yes you can absolutely stall if you release the clutch too fast while trying to get moving or by being at too low a gear relative to your speed. Your engine must maintain a certain minimum amount of momentum or else it dies.

This video is great, but doesnt discuss the downsides. Huge maintenance costs on a straight-cut design, loud as hell, virtually unusable on a daily driver, and... let's just call it a 'high strung' driving experience. All things that are either irrelevant or outright advantages in a race car of any kind, but not so much a road car. Road cars don't come with sequential transmissions for good reason, not just because manufacturers hate fun. Dual clutch transmissions and the best new torque-converter autos offer 90% of the experience with pretty much none of the downsides. And manuals are arguably still the gold standard of driver engagement and enjoyment. I have nothing against sequentials, they are unrivalled in their specific sphere, but they aren't anything like perfect.
