5th Gear

In 5th gear, the power flow goes directly from the input shaft (100) to the output shaft (150) through the 5th/6th synchronizer. This happens because 5th gear is the same ratio as the engine speed. Moving the 5th/6th shift fork (250) rearward moves the 5th/6th synchronizer sleeve (256). The synchronizer sleeve (256) slides on the synchronizer hub. The inner teeth on the synchronizer sleeve push against the synchronizer ring teeth for output shaft (150). Matching the input shaft (100) to the output shaft (150) allows the synchronizer sleeve to engage to the selector teeth on the output shaft (150). The synchronizer hub is pressed on the input shaft (100).
