Manual gearbox 02T
Design and Function
With the new 02T 5/6-speed manual gearbox of the MQ200 series, Volkswagen has succeeded in developing an ultra-light twin-shaft gearbox. The housing is manufactured from magnesium. The gearbox can transmit up to 200 Nm of torque and is used throughout the Group in combination with various engines ranging from the A00 class to the A class. The final drive ratios and the ratios of the individual gears can be matched to the power outputs of the various engines. The type diversity within the gear and final drive ratios allows an optimum compromise to be found between sporty and economical gearbox design for all automotive applications. The gearbox is operated by means of selector cables. The clutch control is hydraulic.
The development goals for the new gearbox
were as follows:
Easy and exact gear-changes
Optimal efficiency
Low weight
Modular technology
Standard cable-operated gearbox
