About this document
Synchromesh Gearbox Overview and Diagram by ghostrider9997 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the workings of a synchromesh gearbox. It is similar to a constant mesh gearbox but uses synchronizers instead of dog clutches. Synchronizers allow gears to be smoothly engaged by first using friction to match their speeds before engagement. The gearbox contains free-rotating gears on the main shaft that are always meshed with gears on the lay shaft. Synchronizer rings and forks on the main shaft engage the gears and match their speeds frictionally before engagement through dog teeth.
