Shifting and Don't Know: 4 Worst Manual Transmissions on the Market

The manual transmission is traditionally perceived among motorists as something simple, proven over decades and at the same time very reliable. Needless to say, in reality, things are far from so unambiguous. Moreover, there are also outright outsiders on the market, from which a decent driver should stay as far away as possible. Now we will talk about such representatives.

1. VOLKSWAGEN 02T

You can see this gearbox on Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Fabia. Most often it is found with a 105-horsepower 1.6-liter power unit. The main problem was that the installation was too easy. The magnesium body with lightweight shafts very often fails under significant loads, especially if the machine starts to slip. The first problems with the "boxes" appear already at 60 thousand run.

2. HYUNDAI M56CF

Another example of extremely unsuccessful use of a relatively old box with new, more powerful units. The Koreans' attempt to save money was not crowned with anything good for motorists. Most often it can be seen on KIA Ceed and Rio cars from 2005-2011, as well as on Hyundai i20 and Solaris from 2005-2014. The manual transmission has a lot of problems - from noise and vibrations to leaks in the oil seals.

This unsuccessful gearbox can be found on many Opel, FIAT, Alfa Romeo cars. The only positive thing about M32 is that it is no longer possible to run into it in the primary market. The manual transmission was withdrawn from use in 2017. However, in the aftermarket, the box is still common. The main problem is the wear of bearings and their rollers.

4. OPEL F17

In conclusion, another old gearbox that appeared in the 1990s, however, despite this, comes across on the secondary market with enviable regularity. This manual transmission is very often found in a variety of "age" Opel cars with engines from 100 to 140 horsepower. As is often the case, the main problem of the described unit is the destruction of the bearings. In addition, the F17 often suffers from gear and shaft damage.
