Synchronization

3581 Synchronization

Synchronization takes the form of triple synchronization in the 1st and 2nd gear, double synchronization in the 3rd gear and single synchronization in the 4th, 5th and 6th gears. All synchronization rings are produced in steel and are carbon-coated in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. The synchronization rings of the 4th, 5th and 6th gear are molybdenum-coated.







Synchronization - 1st and 2nd gear

The mass of the loose gearwheels of the 1st and 2nd gears is high due to the gear ratio (first and second are the largest drive gears), in addition to which shift throw reduction has also been implemented. Due to these factors triple synchronization is employed for these gears. This mode of synchronization offers three friction surfaces for the synchronization process. In order to minimize wear, these friction surfaces are carbon-coated. In order to avoid any disadvantages to the synchronization process when the gearbox heats up, the synchronization rings are made of steel.







Synchronization - 3rd and 4th gear

The 3rd gear is provided with double synchronization; the two friction surfaces are carbon-coated. The 4th gear is located on the opposite side. This gear is provided with single synchronization; the steel synchronization ring is molybdenum-coated.

Synchronization - 5th and 6th

The 5th and 6th gears are also provided with single synchronization; the synchronization rings are made of steel and molybdenum-coated.







Synchronization - Reverse Gear

The reverse gear is also provided with single-cone synchronization.
