Fig. 3A -Neutral. None of the dogs is engaged so that the mainshaft
B and pinions E, F, H, J are rotating but the mainshaft sleeve C and the
final drive sprocket are stationary.
Fig. 3B-Bottom Gear. The sliding pinions K, L, M, N have moved
over so that the dogs on K engage with the dogs on the pinion J. This
causes the double pinion KL, the mainshaft sleeve C and the sprocket D
to rotate with the pinion J which is being driven from the mainshaft
through the layshaft G. The dogs P and Q are not engaged.
Fig. 3C-Second Gear. The sliding pinions have moved so that the
dogs on J are disengaged but the dogs P on the layshaft engage with the
pinion M. The drive from the mainshaft and layshaft then passes
through pinions M and K to the splines on the mainshaft sleeve and the
pinion J is free on the sleeve.
Fig. 3D-Third Gear. The sliding pinions have moved further over so
that the dogs Q on the layshaft engage with the pinion N which drives
the pinion L and thus the mainshaft sleeve, the pinion M being free on
the layshaft.
Fig. 3E-Top Gear. The sliding pinions have now moved right over so
that both sets of dogs P and Q on the layshaft have disengaged but the
dogs on the double pinion KL have engaged with those on the pinion E
and the mainshaft and sleeve rotate together giving a one to one drive
through the gearbox from the clutch sprocket to the output sprocket, the
pinions M, N, J being free to rotate.
