DESCRIPTION

DOUBLE-CONE SYNCHRONIZER
Double-cone synchronizer is adopted for 1st gear to reduce operating force of the shift lever.
TRIPLE-CONE SYNCHRONIZER
Triple-cone synchronizer is adopted for 2nd gear to reduce operating force of the shift lever.
REVERSE GEAR NOISE PREVENTION FUNCTION (SYNCHRONIZING METHOD)
Reverse gear can be matched smoothly in a structure by setting syn-
chronizer hub, coupling sleeve, baulk ring and insert spring to
reverse gear, and letting reverse gear be synchronized.
