Shift fork is a key shifting element in manual and dual clutch transmission for smooth operations of gear shifting. One of the main criteria for robust design of shift fork is stiffness symmetry. Stiffness symmetry ensures straight movement of sleeve onto hub and thus helps in achieving good shift quality. Stiffness symmetry also ensures equal load distribution across two or three pads of shift fork while in operation. In this paper, we intend to demonstrate finite element simulation driven design process to improve stiffness symmetry of shift fork. Various parameters affecting stiffness symmetry are analyzed through design of experiment and selected best range for optimum design of shift fork. Output of this study will be useful for improving any design of shift fork to meet different targets of stiffness symmetry for all automobile suppliers and manufactures.
