Contents

Differences in gear ratios have a measurable, direct impact on vehicle dynamics, performance, waste emissions as well as fuel mileage.

Mercedes-Benz Manual Transmissions

For manual transmissions G for gearbox and two digits are used. See G56 — 6-speed manual as an example.

Mercedes-Benz Automatic Transmissions

Mercedes-Benz uses the number "720" to currently "725" to identify an automatic transmission.

A preselector gearbox is a type of manual transmission mostly used on passenger cars and racing cars in the 1930s, in buses from 1940-1960 and in armoured vehicles from the 1930s to the 1970s. The defining characteristic of a preselector gearbox is that the gear shift lever allowed the driver to "pre-select" the next gear, usually with the transmission remaining in the current gear until the driver pressed the "gear change pedal" at the desired time.
