Transmission designs over the years have evolved significantly achieving more efficiency in terms of fuel economy, comfort and reduction in emissions. This paper describes a Dc motor based E-shift mechanism which automates an existing manual transmission and clutch system to give comfort and ease for gear shifting. The basic idea of E-shift mechanism is to make hassle free gear shifting of manual transmission at sole command of driver without any control strategy for automatic shifting as in case of Automated Manual transmission (AMT). The E-shift mechanism will eliminate the manual efforts required for pressing clutch pedal and shifting gear, giving more ease while driving. The developed mechanism can be retro fitted on existing manual transmission without any major modification at lower cost. The E-shift mechanism uses two actuators for gear shifting and one actuator for clutch actuation.
