This is the research work regarding the development of pneumatic gear changing module which helps to reduce the gear changing time and increases driver's feasibility on changing gears. The gear changing action is actuated by the pressurized air from the compressor via a pneumatic cylinder to the mechanism. When the driver actuates the push button manually, the gear changing module is actuated by a solenoid valve and the gear is shifted in a shorter time. Additionally, a load device is used to control the speeds of input and output shafts of the gearbox. This method also eliminates the clash due to misplacement of gears, in case of mesh type gearboxes, since; the gears are changed manually by push buttons.
