Oil cooling The gearbox is provided with a separate oil/water heat exchanger (2) for heating and cooling the gear set oil.
  • Page 54: Gear Shift Mechanism

    Gear shift mechanism Powertrain The G91/72 is a sequential gearbox with six forward gears and one reverse gear. Gear shifting is performed using two shift paddles located on the steering wheel and a pushbutton on the instrument panel connected to the steering wheel. Pull the right paddle to up-shift and the left paddle to down-shift.
  • Page 55: Gear Shifting

    Advantages of the system Powertrain • Gear shifting with both hands on the steering wheel Automatic double de-clutching when down-shifting • • Focusing on braking and steering Over-revving of the engine is less probably* • • Gearbox protection due to consistent gear shifting *Blocking of the rear wheels during the braking process, may still allow over-revving.
