meshes with the external teeth (spur-
type) of the first- and second-speed
synchronizer sleeve. Movement of the
sliding gear is accomplished by the
center shaft lever. With all forward-
speed synchronizer sleeves in neutral,
power flow in reverse is through the
input shaft to the constant-mesh
countershaft (cluster) gear, thence to
the constant mesh reverse idler. Splines
then carry the power through the re-
verse sliding gear to the first-and-sec-
ong speed synchronizer sleeve which is
locked to the output shaft. As the re-
verse sliding gear is meshed with the
synchronizer sleeve, power is trans-
mitted to the output shaft, rotating it
in a reverse direction.
