The shift slot in the gear selector drum has two counter-running cams on its circumference, which are offset by 180°. A slider which is connected to the selector fork is moved via the shift slot. If the slider moves up or down on the cam then the selector fork is moved accordingly in an axial direction, and as a result either a gear is engaged or the synchronizer assembly is moved to the neutral position.
