Gearshift Mechanism

CONSTRUCTION




- Helical gears are used for forward speed gears. Reverse speed is achieved by making the drive gear to mesh with the main shaft while making the driven gear and reverse idler gear to mesh with the 1st-2nd synchronizer sleeve of the drive pinion, in order to reverse the rotating direction.
- The synchromesh mechanism for 1st and 2nd speeds are placed at the drive pinion side, while the mechanism for 3rd, 4th, 5th and reverse speeds are placed at the main shaft side.
- On non-turbo models, a double cone synchromesh mechanism is used for 2nd and 3rd speed gears.
