OPERATION
Reverse Synchromesh Mechanism
While shifting into 5th, the 2 shifting keys move in unison with the hub sleeve (F1). With "A" acting as the fulcrum, the 2 shifting keys move to push the synchronizer ring only for the amount of the lever ratio (F2). The shift effort can be reduced only by this amount.
While shifting into reverse, with "B" acting as the fulcrum, the 2 shifting keys move to push the synchronizer ring (F2). As a result, a brake is applied to the rotation of the counter shaft and gear noise is prevented.
