Features of SM420 Transmission

• Durability and Strength: That makes the SM420 suitable to off-road and other heavy usages because the transmission is practically immune to wear and tear. It is assumed to bear more torque loads and other severe operational conditions as compared to the other components of the car.
• Manual Control: Similar to most of the manual transmission types, SM420 has the features of direct selection and shifting of the gears. Manual changing is done using a shift stick that is provided on the interior of an automatic car.
• Non-Synchronized Gears: It comes with a 5-speed non-synchronized manual transmission- the SM420 and has no synchronization for the first gear and the third gear.
