Synchromesh Mechanism
Triple cone type (for 1st gear to 3rd gear), double-cone type (for 4th gear) and single-cone type (for 5th gear and 6th gear) synchromesh mechanisms are used.
The No. 2 transmission hub sleeve has a 2-step sleeve chamfer structure. This reduces the amount of time needed for the gears to engage after synchronizing, thus improving shift feeling.

The ball and spring in the synchromesh shifting key have been combined into one unit, thus ensuring the stable position of the synchromesh shifting key and improving shift feeling.

Shift Mechanism
Sliding ball bearings are used in the shift and select lever shaft and shift fork shafts to improve the shift feeling.
A rolling type lock ball is used in the shift and select lever shaft to improve the shift feeling.
A shift guide plate is provided for the shift and select lever shaft to clarify the shift knob position and achieve accurate shift operation.
