dry-plate clutch

The engine drove, via a multiple dry-plate clutch, a four-speed gearbox.

A single dry-plate clutch and an unsynchronized three-speed gearbox were bolted to the engine.

Both versions used a single dry-plate clutch, with US models equipped with a centre change 3-speed transmission and UK a 4-speed.

Power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a single dry-plate clutch and a four-speed all-synchromesh gear box, controlled using a conventional floor mount gear lever.

The GAZ-40PB V-8 gasoline engine is based on a US Dodge truck engine, and is coupled to a manual gearbox with four forward gears and one reverse with a single dry-plate clutch.
