Synchromesh

Mechanisms
 Synchromesh Mechanisms
Used to prevent "gear noise" and to make gear shifting smoother.
This mechanism is called "synchromesh" because two gears which rotational
speed is different are synchronized by friction force during gear shifting.

Advantages.

(1) They eliminate the need for the driver

to "double clutch" (depressing the
clutch pedal twice each time gears are
shifted).
(2) When shifting gears, the power can be
transmitted with less delay.
(3) Shifting can be carried out more
smoothly without damaging the gears.

Triple-/Double-cone type synchromesh mechanism

To increase the synchromesh capacity, recent models have adopted a

triple- cone or double-cone synchromesh mechanism particularly for the
2nd and 3rd gears.
 Operation

Each speed gear is meshed with the corresponding driven gear and run idle
on the shaft.
Operation of the synchronizer can be divided into four stages as follows when
the shift lever is moved from 4th gear to 3rd gear.
