Definitions and Applications of Gearboxes
A gearbox is a mechanical or electronic-mechanical gear unit whose task is to adjust engine torque to current driving conditions. Modern vehicles use various types of gearboxes: manual (with a classic clutch), automatic (torque converter or planetary gears), and dual-clutch (DSG, Tiptronic, 7G-Tronic). In vehicles like the BMW E90, power can be transferred to the rear axle (RWD) or all wheels (xDrive), and the gearbox is an integral part of the entire drivetrain.

Compatibility and fit
When selecting a gearbox or driveline component, it's important to pay attention to the transmission code and OEM designation – these determine the full compatibility of the part with a given vehicle model. In the case of the BMW E90 or Audi A4 B8, the gearbox number (e.g., GA6HP19Z or 0B5 S-Tronic) allows you to select the identical transmission type. Using parts matching the OEM number ensures optimal fit, durability, and reduced operating costs.

The principle of operation of a car drive
A car's drivetrain is a set of components that collectively transfer power from the engine to the wheels. Depending on the vehicle's design, we distinguish between front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), and all-wheel drive (AWD or 4x4). The BMW E90 with xDrive features a torque splitter that automatically redirects power to the axle with the best traction. This solution increases driving stability, especially on wet or slippery surfaces.
What functions do gearboxes and drives perform?
Gearboxes and drivetrains play a key role in ensuring optimal performance and a smooth ride:
- Torque Transfer – Ensures efficient use of engine power in various driving conditions.
- Reduced fuel consumption – Efficient gearboxes and drives allow for more efficient fuel consumption and reduced energy losses.
- Smooth gear changes – Thanks to the appropriate components, the gearbox operates efficiently, eliminating jerking and vibrations.
- Ensuring stability and control – Differentials and transfer cases enable efficient transfer of power to the wheels depending on road conditions. Used car parts, such as gearboxes, drive shafts and differentials, offer an economical solution for every vehicle.
Application examples and technical data
In ZF 6HP automatic transmissions (used in BMW 3 and 5 Series models, among others), gear shift times are approximately 200 ms, guaranteeing smooth, jerk-free acceleration. In Getrag 6-speed manual transmissions, the gear ratios are optimized for fuel economy and synchronizer durability. These parameters directly translate into comfort and longevity of the entire drivetrain.
How to choose the right parts for gearboxes and drives?
- Vehicle fit – At Global Parts you will find drivetrain parts that perfectly fit BMW, Mini, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen and more .
- Technical condition – Used gearboxes and drives should be free from excessive wear, mechanical damage and leaks.
- Gearbox Type – Choose components suitable for manual, automatic or sequential transmissions.
- Drivetrain Compatibility – Make sure the components you choose are compatible with your vehicle's drivetrain type (FWD, RWD, AWD).
How to take care of gearboxes and drivetrain?
- Regular oil changes – Prevents excessive gear wear and ensures smooth gear changes.
- Controlling play and tension – Avoids unnecessary vibrations and noise in the drive system.
- Repair or replacement on time - In case of damage, choose car parts that will ensure long-lasting performance.
Operating instructions
Regularly checking the level and quality of your transmission oil is key to maintaining the durability of your transmission. For automatic transmissions, it's recommended to change the oil every 60,000–80,000 km, and for manual transmissions, every 100,000 km. Drive shafts and universal joints require periodic lubrication to avoid play and vibration at higher speeds.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions about gearboxes and DRIVES
