Gearbox: 5-Speed Manual (G28/5)
The Gurkha utilizes a heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission. It is specifically mated to a 4WD system featuring "Shift-on-the-fly" capability. The gear ratios are short-shifted in the lower range to maximize torque multiplication, ensuring the vehicle remains a "beast" in first and second gear during technical climbs.
Off-Road Tech: Manual Locking Differentials
The Gurkha is unique in its segment for offering Mechanically Actuated Differential Locks on both the front and rear axles. Controlled by levers on the center console, these allow the driver to lock the wheels on an axle together, ensuring power is sent to the wheel with grip even if the other is in the air or on ice.
