Driving a man car with a manual transmission

If you need to bleed the MAN TGA rocker, then you need special equipment for this. This cannot be done at home (in a private garage or just in the yard).

Gearboxes of different models and modifications of MAN vehicles have some of their own characteristics.

In particular, on buses the gear shift mechanism includes:

backstage;
spool mechanism that distributes air;
cylinder that helps change gears.

The bus body is long. The drive from the gear shift lever is cable.

Gearbox gates on trucks of this brand come in different types. Many drivers do not like pneumatic ones. You can remove it and install a mechanical one, which will require two cables.

TipMatic gearbox

Automatic gearbox

12-speed automatic gearbox

Automatic transmission with 12 gears, 2 options: - fully automatic and - automatic with manual control

MAN TipMatic® is an automated gearshift system with ZF gearbox (AS-Tronic). The gearbox has 2 versions. MAN TipMatic® Fleet version operates in automatic mode. MAN TipMatic ® Profi can operate in automatic and manual mode.

MAN offers a 12-speed TipMatic® gearbox for light and heavy commercial vehicles, for high-quality highway and off-road driving. MAN TipMatic ® gearboxes are available in direct or overdrive versions.

Automatic transmissions are not a luxury, and not just an assistant for inexperienced drivers. An automatic transmission significantly reduces the load on the driver when driving a car. However, it is also important that only an automatic transmission allows for high driving efficiency and fuel economy.

The automatic transmission ensures that the engine always operates in the optimal speed range - this is what leads to fuel savings. Even an experienced driver is not able to ensure constant control of the optimal mode over a long journey. The gearshift strategy of the TipMatic® automatic transmission selects the most economical gear at every moment and constantly provides the required torque. The driver can concentrate on monitoring the road situation. Automatic transmission ( automatic transmission ), thanks to optimized automatic gear shifting, significantly saves transmission life, which increases the life of components and reduces both operating and repair costs, including downtime.

The above in practice means that a truck with such a gearbox can, on average, save about 2,250 liters of diesel fuel per year and emit 6 tons of CO2 less. Investing in such an automatic transmission is economically profitable.

Controlling the automatic transmission is convenient and simple

In busy traffic, when maneuvering to select the desired route, the driver can now better concentrate on the road situation, saving his attention and effort on changing gears. TipMatic ® downshifts to the desired gear when climbing and stopping, and upshifts when accelerating. EVBac is activated , the automatic transmission also selects the most appropriate automatic braking algorithm to still provide full braking power. This is a significant advantage from a road safety point of view.

* The driver can operate the TipMatic ® Profi fully automatically or manually using a switch on the steering wheel * MAN TipMatic ® Fleet enables fully automatic driving.

MAN supplies TipMatic ® gearboxes for the TGX and TGS heavy-duty truck series with 2, 3 and 4 axles, including all-wheel drive vehicles 4x4, 6x6, 8x8, so that these vehicles can also be driven comfortably in automatic mode, even in off-road conditions. Off-road versions of the MAN TipMatic® are also available for the TGM truck series.

"Offroad" mode for off-road use On the rotary switch of the MAN TipMatic, the symbol "Dx" stands for "off-road mode", specially designed for transport in construction. For driving on reinforced surfaces, mode “D” is used. When off-road, the rotary switch is moved from the "D" position to the "Dx" position. When driving off-road, the TipMatic® algorithm changes gears with a minimum step and ensures a smooth ride and maximum forward movement on any soil, be it sand, clay, or on slopes. The gear shift algorithm is designed in such a way that when starting off in off-road conditions, the gearbox selects the initial gear - the gear with the highest engine torque - and then tries to maintain it for as long as possible. To ensure maneuverability in sand and mud and traction on inclines, gear changes should be avoided. If the gears do change, then depending on the resistance to movement, the gearbox makes quick shifts.

With the MAN TipMatic ® automated gearbox, automatic mode selection and gear changes make the driver's job much easier. There is no clutch pedal (for fully automatic transmission). Depending on the vehicle model and rotary switch version, the downshift is selected depending on the load or manually. Engine with power up to 480 hp. can be combined with the TipMatic ® direct drive transmission option.

The TipMatic ® system improves vehicle efficiency by reducing fuel consumption, reducing maintenance costs and increasing load capacity by approximately 70 kg compared to a comparable manual transmission. The MAN TipMatic ®, in combination with the MAN EasyStart function and the slope support function, makes starting uphill and downhill much easier and therefore safer.

ZF Intarder Eco Thanks to the Intarder installed at the gearbox output, it becomes possible to create high braking power (up to 600 kW, braking torque 3300 Nm). This ensures lower operating costs due to reduced brake wear and maintenance. There is no attenuation and increase in the effectiveness of the “cold” brake. Optimal integration and continuous control of the brake (with the bremsomat function) is achieved with a high level of operating comfort and safety.

Advantages: * MAN TipMatic ® automates gear shifting, eliminates the need for the clutch pedal and saves fuel in intercity traffic on average by approx. 4.5% compared to a manual transmission * MAN EasyStart with stop function prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when reversing * Low idle losses and short response times thanks to the advanced Eco intarder (fuel savings of 0.1 l/100 km on long-distance routes and increase in service life)

Shift lever force

The gearbox consists of the following main components: a main four-stage gearbox, a front two-stage gear divider and a range-shifter. All forward gears in the main gearbox are activated by synchronizers, and the reverse gear is engaged by a gear clutch. The multiplier is planetary, it is automatically switched using a pneumatic valve by a clutch synchronizer when the lever is moved in neutral from the 3-4 gear position to 5-6 and vice versa.

The gear divider is mechanical and consists of one pair of cylindrical gears and a synchronizer. The divider control is pneumatic.

The gears are engaged mechanically, through a double H-shift. It is divided into 5 tracks located next to each other. On tracks 3-4 or 5-6 there is

neutral position of the lever.

Rice. 72. Gear shift diagram.

a - the lowest range of the range; b is the highest range of the range.

Spring clamps constantly press the lever to the neutral position. Pneumatic switching of the range multiplier occurs automatically when the lever is moved in neutral from the 3-4 gear position to 5-6 and vice versa.

The preliminary selection of a gear in the divider is made by moving the pneumatic valve switch installed in the handle of the gear shift lever to position B or H. The gear in the divider is switched after pressing the clutch pedal. Depending on the conditions of use of the vehicle, you can use a divider in any gear.

The servo amplifier consists of a control unit and a two-position cylinder. The gears in the gearbox are engaged as described above, only with pneumatic assistance.

Advantage: Reduced gear shifting effort.

Prolonged engagement of gears with high manual force contributes to increased wear of the synchronizers.

Depending on the vehicle model, the gearbox may be equipped with a power take-off.

GEARBOX OPERATION

By observing the following operating instructions, fuel economy and trouble-free driving are guaranteed:

• You should drive in the middle engine speed range (Fig. 74)

Use the highest gear

Fig.74. Average engine speed range

Start the engine and move off

• Set the parking brake (prevents the vehicle from moving spontaneously)

. Turn on neutral in the gearbox

• Engage gear (preferably first, to save the clutch)

• Release the parking brake and smoothly depress the clutch

CAUTION: Shifting gears while the clutch is not fully disengaged will result in accelerated wear of the transmission synchronizers.

• If you leave your vehicle running, you must set the parking brake. This prevents the vehicle from moving spontaneously.

• Do not start the engine with the cab raised

Ecosplit - ZF gearboxes are synchronized. The synchronizer makes gear changes quick, safe and silent:

• Without pressing the clutch twice when upshifting.

• Without intermediate gas supply and double clutch release when switching from higher to lower gears.

Rice. 75. Gearbox shift diagram

In the diagram (Fig. 72) for switching on gears N on the tracks for switching on gears 3-4 (reduced gear of the range multiplier) and 5-6 (direct gear of the range multiplier) there is a neutral position (idling state).

To select tracks 1-2 or 7-8 gears, you need to move the lever to the appropriate position overcoming the spring force and hold it in this position when turning it on. The transition from the low gear position of the range multiplier to the direct gear position of the range multiplier and back is separated by a more powerful spring clamp.

Engaging reverse gear is blocked by an additional lock and requires increased effort.

• Move the shift lever smoothly, without much effort and with an open hand, as shown in Fig. 5.

• When engaging a gear, keep pressure on the lever while the synchronizer performs the shifting process.

• Changing tracks from 3-4 gears to 5-6 gears or vice versa is done with a short half of the palm of the lever and smoothly moving it into the desired gear.

• Shift smoothly to minimize effort. This is especially important when the transmission oil is still cold.

If the operating temperature of the gearbox has not yet reached normal, then shifting requires increased effort.

Rice. 76. Gear shift

Shift gears correctly:

1-2-3-4 - low gears (lowest range of the multiplier);

5-6-7-8 - higher gears (highest range of the multiplier). When slowing down, change gears only sequentially: 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. Always keep the gear engaged when driving.

— switch from the highest range of the range to the lowest at a speed of more than 30 km/h;

— coast and go downhill with the gear shift lever in neutral position.

• Engage reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling.

• To avoid damage to the transmission and engine, engage a nearby low gear first if the engine speed reaches a minimum in that gear when braking.

Switching on the power take-off.

The power take-off must only be turned on and off when the vehicle is stationary.

When parking the vehicle for a long time (for example, overnight parking), the power take-off must be turned off. Parking:

• Switch the gearbox to the lowest range position (1st-4th gears)

• Set the parking brake.

• For additional safety, engage the gear: If the car is uphill - forward gear;

from the mountain - reverse gear.

Towing (to start the engine):

Start the engine by towing in direct range gear (5-8 gears).

Towing (defective vehicle):

Towing is possible only under the following conditions: neutral position of the gearbox with direct transmission of the tipplikator (track 5-6 or 7-8 gears). Towing distance is no more than 100 km. The maximum permissible speed is no more than 20 km/h.

If one of the above conditions is not met, the driveshaft must be disconnected from the rear axle.

If damage to the gearbox is suspected, the driveshaft must be disconnected from the rear axle.

Problems when changing range positions (for example, tracks 3-4 gears to 5-6 gears or vice versa) may have the following reasons:

• damage to the pneumatic system.

• The switching valve or the switching cylinder of the range multiplier has defects (condensation or contamination).

• Continuation of movement is possible only when the lowest range of the multiplier is switched on (1-4 gears).

• If the direct transmission of the range gear remains switched on, the vehicle can be towed.

Operating the vehicle at low temperatures:

The gearbox is filled with oil according to the chemical chart. The gearbox can operate at external temperatures down to -30°C. The following points need to be taken into account:

• at external temperatures down to -20°С

After starting the engine, a period is required to warm up the gearbox. Warming up of the transmission oil should be carried out with partial (incomplete) load at low speed.

• at external temperatures down to -30°С

Before starting the engine, it is necessary to warm up the gearbox with warm air. You should also pay attention to the fact that the temperature in the gearbox should not exceed 150°C.

It is not allowed to heat the box with an open flame!

Use of the vehicle at prolonged temperatures between 0 and - 60°C.

The gearbox must be supplied with oils that meet the technical requirements and the list of oils recommended by ZF.

Parking the car at low temperatures.

When the external temperature is below 0°C, it should be taken into account that the lower range of the range is switched on in the gearbox (shift lever in position 1 of gear or in the neutral position of tracks 3-4).

Regular maintenance increases the reliability of the gearbox. It is especially important to observe the intervals between technical inspections.

Only oils that comply with the ZF lubricant list are allowed to fill the gearbox.

Amount of oil to be filled

The required amount of oil is shown on the rating plate attached to the gearbox.

— When first filling, -11l

— When changing oil, -8 l

— Amount of filling oil for normal installation (tilt 0 - 3°).

MAN TGA gearbox: gearbox features and shift pattern

The main model of MAN is the TGA tractor, which became the basis for another new MAN TGH series. By the way, MAN vehicle markings are assigned to a tractor depending on its load capacity. There are such series:

TGM, TGL;
TGA - basic model;
TGS TGX - heavyweights;
TGM - medium-duty trucks;
TGL - light-duty vehicles.

The tractors of this series are mainly equipped with six-cylinder engines of our own production with a volume of 10.5 to 12.8 liters, the power of which can vary from 310 to 530 horsepower, depending on the vehicle configuration.

These engines can be coupled with a 12-speed automatic transmission, a 16-speed manual ZF ComfortShift with ServoShift hydrostatic gearshift system (HGS), a 16-speed manual ZF 16 S NEW ECOSPLIT, etc. Let's use the ZF manual gearbox as an example 16 S NEW ECOSPLIT let's look at the main features and switching diagram.

Features of the manual transmission of the MAN TGA ZF 16 S NEW ECOSPLIT

So, the MAN TGA gearbox ZF 16 S NEW ECOSPLIT, depending on the configuration, comes in three types:

Gearbox with NMV (power take-off mechanism from the internal combustion engine) and intarder (hydrodynamic non-wearing retarder with intense heat exchange);
Gearbox with intarder (hydrodynamic non-wearing retarder with intense heat exchange);
Gearbox without intarder.

The main common components of all three types of MAN TGA gearbox ZF 16 S NEW ECOSPLIT:

For example, thanks to the pneumatic booster, gear shifts smoothly and easily. And the design features of the box allow it to create minimal noise when turned on.

Even on the MAN TGA gearbox, the switching pattern is implemented in such a way as to optimally use the power of the vehicle’s internal combustion engine at the beginning of movement, when accelerating or braking almost to a complete stop. There is another advantage of the gearbox - the ability to connect different power take-offs.

The MAN gear shift diagram may seem quite complicated. 16 forward gears and two reverse. How to manage them? However, you get used to it very quickly. And then you begin to understand that this is all “stuffed” for a reason. The gears are very easy to engage thanks to the pneumatic booster. The noise from the box is minimal due to its special design.

This MAN gear shift scheme allows you to optimally use the power of the power unit, both when starting, accelerating, driving, and braking, right up to a complete stop. Correctly selected gears enable high-performance operation of all equipment, without compromising reliability and efficiency. In addition, it can be connected to a variety of power take-offs.

The gearbox itself consists of three parts. Main with four gears, two-stage divider and range multiplier. The multiplier automatically switches when moving from 3-4 rows to 5-6 rows. The lever located on the gearshift lever is a divider with which you can select a slow or fast group. These groups are activated by depressing the clutch and shifting the lever.

In order for the MAN gearbox to serve for a long time, it is necessary to carry out timely maintenance and replace worn parts. It is better not to skimp on oil and fill it with special oil, although the one filled at the factory is enough for 300,000 km when transporting goods over long distances, and for 100 thousand when the car is operating in difficult conditions, both road and climatic. Among other things, as follows from the prospectus, it allows you to save 1 percent of fuel. It doesn’t seem like much, but if you convert it into liters and money, you get a noticeable figure.

For example, thanks to the pneumatic booster, gear shifts smoothly and easily. And the design features of the box allow it to create minimal noise when turned on.

The MAN TGA gear shift diagram consists of three main parts:

CVT box

This type of gearbox is structurally different from those listed above.
First of all, it has no gears, which is why such a transmission is called continuously variable. The main advantage of a variator is a smooth change in gear ratio. This effect is achieved thanks to a special method of transmitting rotation through friction through a belt stretched between gears with varying diameters.

In modern cars, three main types of variator are used: belt, clinometer, torus. The most common type for the automotive industry is the first type, and the last two are the prerogative of special equipment.

The variator has enough advantages:

smoother and faster acceleration;
ease of control;
no noise;
efficiency in fuel consumption;
high environmental performance.

There are also disadvantages:

expensive repairs;
using more oil;
lack of towing capability;
high risk of overheating when slipping.

Despite greater driving comfort, the use of CVTs on trucks is not justified. Stepped gearboxes with high efficiency, for example, the YaMZ 238 gearbox, show themselves to be much more productive.

Any company that produces vehicles can equip them with different types of gearboxes. The choice of a car with a specific gearbox, the same gearbox on the YaMZ 236, depends on the purpose of using the vehicle, driving style, expected loads and operating conditions.

MAN TGA tractor unit

The MAN TGA truck tractor already has quite a long history and serious popularity.
Such tractors were officially produced until 2007, and then this series, which had already gained noticeable fame, lost its position to a new series of trucks. They turned out to be the famous MAN TGH cars, which made a splash even at the presentation. However, it was the TGA model that became the basics for the main TGC designs. MAN TGA is considered the generation of trucks that stood at the very origins of the concept, which was introduced by engineers from MAN. We're talking about the Trucknology Generation. The abbreviation of this word is the TG marking, and the load capacity class of the truck is determined by the last letter “A”; for this series this parameter is more than 18 tons. The definition of “Trucknology Generation” implies that generation of trucks, the main goal of which is a combination of the highest automotive technologies, “intelligent” control and impeccable comfort. The MAN TGA vehicle fully meets these parameters. This truck was originally invented directly in search of additional auxiliary power for the MAN F2000 series. Later, the TGA was already an equivalent replacement for the F2000 model, which at that time was already losing its relevance. In the new series of cars, environmental characteristics were improved (up to EURO 5), and new engines appeared. For 7 years, MAN presented this model as advanced.

Working space

I climb into the cabin. Despite the fact that it is called “middle”, the engine tunnel is small and you can move freely throughout the considerable internal space. A fairly wide sleeping shelf (2005 mm in length and 745 in width) hides drawers for personal belongings and a built-in refrigerator. Plus three drawers above the windshield and two glove compartments... The main thing here is not to forget what you put where.

Excellent seats with all possible adjustments, a steering wheel with many buttons, adjustable in two planes. The familiar graphics of the instrument board, where two main dials are separated by a built-in on-board computer display... Of course, the climate control panel is in its place. In general, if you have driven a MAN before, then don’t expect any revolutionary discoveries. True, the abundance of buttons makes you regret that you were not diligent at school: you still need to learn how to operate all this, and you can be sure that the MAN TGS operating instructions will become your favorite book in the first months of work.

A detail has appeared in the interior, hinting that MAN belongs to the Volkswagen concern: the usual Volkswagen media system with navigation, SD cards and the ability to connect two mobile phones - not only the driver, but also his partner will not be left without attention. I would like to note that three-dimensional maps with tips on how to save fuel taking into account the terrain are available for Europe, but for Russia, unfortunately, there are no such maps yet.

Appearance and ergonomics

The cabin is externally designed in a traditional form for truck tractors - high, with excellent visibility and ergonomics. The good ergonomics of the tractor ensures excellent comfort for the driver and assistant. It provides not only a comfortable ride, but also excellent conditions for relaxation. Tall, with two sleeping places, it resembles an apartment on wheels, although, in fact, it is one. And on the road, you don’t have to reach far to control all the switches, toggle switches, and levers; they are located very conveniently.

The stylish, brightly colored cabin, with large and comfortable mirrors installed on the sides, allows you to recognize the MAN TGA in any traffic flow.

About manual transmission - logbook Man TGA 18 480 2013 on DRIVE2

Here one person was taking a photo of an educational program around America and stopped for a moment on the story of his poker. Who calls it what? I still have this lever, and the poker lies in the cradle under the trailer, it helps me throw the trailer canopy up and then, with its help, I move the roof of the awning.

So, here's the gearshift lever. It has 2 buttons. The man said that under the lever there is a paddle for switching from low to high, and the button on the side is halves. Hm…

So, either I’m missing something, or I don’t know. The paddle does not shift up or down, but shifts between the upper and lower gears. Moreover, on the same Mana Commander this petal is not present. There is one row from 1st to 4th gear, and then the same row, as if through a step, and then from 5th to 8th gear. Those. on older manual transmission vehicles, they resemble the arrangement of gears in a passenger car, with the only difference being that in a truck there are not 4, 5, but 8.

There are circles in the neutral gap between 3rd and 5th gear. These circles indicate the presence of a step. The step is made to prevent the parking driver from engaging a gear from a different circuit. Because in most cases, an empty truck can move freely from both 2nd and 3rd gear.

Same with the button. On older machines it was called a petal. And it played the role of a switch not of halves, but of high and low modes. Because the truck has 8 gears, but in fact 16. And it is this flag/button that plays the role of a switch from upshift to downshift. Are you tired? For those who are not in the know: 8 low is also 8 high or 16th.

And in newer trucks, the gear diagram looks like in the photo. They simply reduced the movement of the slide and distributed 4 more gears in the same places as the first 4 gears. And the petal already plays the role of a switch between the first and second row, and the button between upshifts and downshifts.

And there are no halves here. Rave.

Forward and upward

Starting the engine, gently pressing the accelerator pedal... and I smoothly roll up under the load. The excavator pours 15 cubic meters of crushed stone into the Myler semi-trailer, and the lifting begins from the very bottom of the stone quarry. This is where you appreciate the benefits of the TipMatic automated transmission with a “power” mode, which allows the engine to “hang” at high speeds and shift gears “one at a time.”

I confidently crawl up the rather slippery rocky road after the rain. But if necessary, you can use both inter-axle and inter-wheel locks in the rear “trolley”. It's good that there's no need for all-wheel drive (the test car didn't have one), but the optional HidroMatic front-wheel drive option is available to order. Its essence is that the driver connects the power take-off shaft, which raises the pressure in the hydraulic system, transmitting torque to the hydraulic motors of the front axle. This system has proven itself well both in terms of cross-country ability (when turned on) and efficiency (when turned off). There are also systems to prevent trailer rollover and folding.

It is important that to operate the MAN TGS you do not need great qualifications - many operations will be done for you by the electronics, especially after the car gets out of the quarry onto a regular highway: feel free to turn on the adaptive cruise control, and all you have to do is steer.

To summarize, we can say that MAN TGS is one of the real contenders for leadership in the construction segment. In particular, in 2017, the share of this brand in the Russian market in the segment of trucks with a 6x6 wheel arrangement was 48%, and in the 8x8 configuration as much as 78%, which made it the largest supplier of construction equipment among European brands. The new product is also favorably distinguished by its price/quality/performance ratio, while the car is well known in Russia, and the 2022 update only added interesting options.

Cabin of MAN trucks

Appearance is not the main criterion when choosing such a car, but it is always nice to look at the stylish appearance of the vehicle. German experts tried to improve the appearance of their new product. Among the innovations, we can highlight a plastic bumper, which received improved diode lighting.

The radiator grille was additionally protected by a mesh from gravel and insects. To make it easy to get into the cabin, there are 3 steps and comfortable handrails. The new exterior of the MAN TGS cab has helped reduce aerodynamic external noise by 30%. Now the new front part fully meets Euro-6 environmental standards.

The position of the windshield wipers was changed, which made it possible to reduce snow and ice build-up during winter operation. In addition, contamination of the side windows has been significantly reduced. External side mirrors become dirty by as much as 60%. With the help of the latest air intakes, it was possible to increase the throughput of the air flow entering the engine compartment by 15%.

At the same time, it was possible to reduce the load on the fan and save an acceptable amount of fuel. The improvement also affected the head lighting. Now the headlights have LED filling of the side light source with a daytime running light option. With the help of additional headlights, adaptive lighting of the road section is provided.

The update that took place in 2014 seriously changed some elements. Changes to the new MAN TGS affected the rearrangement of truck elements installed directly on the frame. For example, specialists have developed new tanks for AdBlue, which have greater capacity, despite the increased size of the exhaust system (which received the SCRT system).
