Abstract

This project is about design and fabrication a semi – automatic gear shifting mechanism for a Formula Varsity race car based on the rules and specification. This gear shift mechanism system had been design to resolve shifting gear problem, eliminate fully mechanical gear shift and to have a better cockpit area. This design was referred to the many motorcycle shift mechanism patent as a benchmark and than had been modified to implement at the race car. All the concept design had been perform with computer aided drawing (CAD) software – CATIA to have a better physical view. After the drawing completed, material application was selected and perform some basic analysis. Then after performing the analysis, all the design will be transfer to the detail marking on the belong material to be fabricate. All the components must be fabricated according to detail design and after finished fabrication, all the component are installed and tested to evaluate system functionality. Test showed that the system can be operate normally (shift up or down) in a certain time. But for the maximum usage condition, an external power source must be attached to the system.
