How much power to turn the transmission
A while back I saw a post regarding how much power it takes to spin the transmission in neutral but I can't seem to find it. I figured I would test it myself the other day in case anyone is interested. This is what I came up with.
Vehicle- 1985 handa CRX 5 speed manual(no clutch),transmission oil 10W-30 air temp 86 deg F.
Motor- 36 volt forklift 10.5 HP brushes not advanced.
* Current is battery amps and motor RPM is 1000 ( but at higher voltages is approximated as speed control was very sensative)
Volts Amps
36 12.5
48 10.1
72 6.4
96 3.6
120 3.0
144 2.5
205 1.9
