Taking the Lupo as the basis, Volkswagen has developed the world's first 3 L car that will also go into volume production. Designing a vehicle which covers 100 km on 3 litres of fuel involved a great deal of detail work. Factors influencing fuel consumption - such as aerodynamics, rolling resistance, engine concept, gearbox tuning and kerb weight - have been revised systematically. The goal was achieved by using new technologies, weight-saving materials and new production processes.
However, the driver also plays a key role with regard to fuel economy. A great many drivers are not aware of this fact, though. The new electronic manual gearbox eliminates gear shift errors. Gear shifts are executed automatically and in such a way as to optimise fuel consumption. The advantages of an electronic manual gearbox over an automatic gearbox are lower weight and higher efficiency.

comprises three main elements:
The electronics comprise: the electronic selector lever the electronic accelerator pedal the gearbox control unit the electro-hydraulic valves the potentiometer and the micro-switches
The hydraulics comprise: - the hydraulic unit with hydraulic pump and pressure accumulator - the clutch slave cylinder - the selector lever - the pressure valves
The mechanicals comprise: - manual gearbox 085 - the selector shaft and the lever mechanism of the selector lever
In the electronic manual gearbox, movements of the gear lever are registered by a potentiometer and four micro-switches and signalled to the control unit. The actual gear change is initiated by the gearbox control unit and executed via hydraulic valves and selector levers.

General information
The electronic manual gearbox mechanism is based on the 5speed manual gearbox fitted in the VW Polo and Lupo. The manual gearbox has been made lighter and revised to make it suitable for use in the Lupo 3 L. Weight was reduced as follows: Openings were included in the crown wheel The input and output shafts were hollow drilled The 5th gear has been designed as a spoked gear wheel 221_004 The remaining gear wheels have been made lighter by machining recesses in the side faces - By moving the oil filler screw, oil capacity has been reduced by 0.2 litres but the oil level is still the same as before

of the standard manual gearbox are initiated via the gear lever and transferred to the selector shaft on the gearbox by means of cables and reversing levers.

A lateral movement of the gear lever (blue arrow) is transmitted to the selector shaft by means of cables and the lever mechanism. This causes the selector shaft to rotate (idling motion).

Forward and reverse movements of the gear lever (red arrow) are transformed to forward and reverse movements of the selector shaft (gearshifts).
In the electronic manual gearbox, external mechanical actuation is performed by the selector lever.
Mechanicals
The selector lever
transfers the shift operations initiated by the control unit to the selector shaft on the manual gearbox. Hydraulic pistons in the selector lever housing are actuated with hydraulic fluid via solenoid valves. The piston applies pressure to the piston rocker to whose arbor the gate selection lever is attached. A linkage transfers the movement to a lever located on the selector shaft. This causes the selector shaft to rotate.

System representation
The hydraulics enable the system to execute shift movement sequences. An electrical hydraulic pump generates for the required pressure. Thanks to the pressure accumulator, the system has an oil and pressure reserve which enables it to execute instantaneous shift operations. A pressure accumulator signals the momentary system pressure to the control unit.

The hydraulic clutch control
During a gear change, the clutch solenoid valve is also activated by the gearbox control unit. The solenoid valve is used to control clutch opening or clutch closing. Located on the end of the clutch slave cylinder is a potentiometer which enables the control unit to detect the exact position of the clutch slave cylinder and also the position of the clutch.

Clutch opened
Pressure accumulator
To open the clutch, the piston of the solenoid valve is displaced in such a way that the oil pressure can flow from the pressure accumulator to the clutch slave cylinder. Pressure is applied to the clutch slave cylinder piston; the latter then pulls the clutch lever via a cable. The clutch is actuated and opens.
The potentiometer registers the position of the clutch and sends a corresponding signal to the control unit.
Clutch solenoid valve
Clutch 20% opened The clutch is kept approx. 20% open in order to ensure good response during gear change operations and to reduce transition times. The piston in the solenoid valve maintains a residual pressure of approx. 20% of the maximum pressure in the clutch slave cylinder after the clutch is opened. The piston is positioned in such a way that it blocks all hydraulic connections.

Solenoid valves 1 and 2 are activated by the gearbox control unit when a selector gate movement is executed on the gearbox selector shaft.
Pressure accumulator

For selector gate movement from right to left, solenoid valve 1 is activated and oil pressure is admitted to the left piston in the selector lever. The piston moves a rocker to whose arbor the selector gate control lever is attached. The control lever moves a lever on the selector shaft via a connecting rod. This causes the selector shaft to rotate. There are several interlocking pistons with different surface areas in the selector lever. They react to the inflowing volume of oil in such a way that the selector shaft can also be rotated into the positions for the 3rd - 4th gear gates or 1st - 2nd gear gates.
