Synchronizer Element - SSANGYONG 2004 Rexton 2.7XDi Workshop Manual

Synchronizer element

A cone or sleeve that slides to and fro on the transmission main shaft and makes the gears rotate at the same speed to
prevent clash when the gears are about to mesh. Whenever a vehicle is rolling, the transmission main shaft is turning
and the clutch gear is spinning. Even though the clutch is disengaged, the clutch gear continues to spin until friction
slows it down or stops it. Thus when the driver shifts into another gear he is trying to mesh gears that may be moving at
different speeds. By using synchronizers, the possibility of broken or damaged teeth is reduced and shifting effort is
lowered.
