CONSTRUCTION
The shift and select mechanism consists of a No. 1 outer shift lever, an outer select lever, a shift and select lever shaft assembly, 3 gear shift fork shaft assemblies, a reverse shift arm bracket assembly and a reverse shift fork.
The distances between the shift and select lever shaft assembly and each gear shift fork shaft assembly, and the distance between the shift fork and shift fork shaft have been shortened. This reduces sliding resistance, thus improving shift feeling.
The shape of the shift fork has been made symmetrical to improve shift feeling.

A pre-synchronizing system is used. While reverse is selected, the synchromesh mechanism of the 4th gear is activated, thus preventing gear noise when shifting into the reverse gear.
