Abstract:
Motor vehicle gearbox with a parking brake, consisting of a toothed wheel (30) non-rotatably mounted on a reverse gear shaft (5) and a locking arm (33) swingably mounted in the housing (1) of the gearbox and having a detent (33a) which can be inserted into a tooth space (32) in the toothed wheel with the aid of a knob (41) on the selector shaft (38) of the reverse gear fork (37). The reverse gear shaft has a non-rotatable gear (29) meshing with a final drive, so that locking the reverse gear shaft locks the vehicle drive wheels.
Abstract:
A control system for use in an automatic transmission having a transmission mechanism for establishing a plurality of forward stages, a neutral state and a reverse stage. The transmission mechanism includes a predetermined rotary element to be retained for establishing the reverse stage; a reverse brake for retaining the rotary element; and a frictional engagement element capable of stopping the rotation of the rotary element. The reverse brake is a meshing type brake which meshes with and retains the rotary element. The control system has an engagement mechanism for applying the frictional engagement element. When the reverse stage is selected, the frictional engagement element is applied at least until the meshing engagement of the reverse brake is established, to stop the predetermined rotary element.
Abstract:
Synchronized forward speed ranges and an unsynchronized reverse range are automatically selected in a gear transmission. The reverse speed range is selected when with an open main clutch at first a synchronizing device for a forward speed range is actuated and once a permissible shifting speed is reached this shifting is started and the reverse speed range is selected. The main clutch remains open for the duration of the shifting operation.
Abstract:
A shifter assembly is disclosed for use with a manually-operated multiple-speed ratio transmission. The shifter assembly includes a tower housing fixed to the transmission casing, and a shift lever operably coupled to the gearshift mechanism housed within the transmission casing and which is supported for movement within the housing under the control of a vehicle operator. A shift inhibitor device is located within the housing and is operable for inhibiting movement of the shift lever from the highest forward gear position into the reverse gear position. In addition, the shift inhibitor device is also adapted to guide the shift lever into a "Neutral" position.
Abstract:
The reverse shift mechanism for a manual transmission includes a gear selector shaft driveably connected to a guide rail having a selector finger rotatable among several shift and axially displaceably to gear engagement positions within each shift plane. A reverse lever, pivotably supported on the transmission casing pivotally supports a camming pawl guided rotatably on a fixed post located within a slotted hole in the pawl. The lever is continually engaged with reverse idler which is moved between position of engagement and disengagement with a reverse pinion and reverse output gear the pawl defines a camming surface contacted by the selector pin and a recess for engaging the selector pin as it moves from the neutral position to the reverse drive position the selector pin disengages the recess and camming surface when it moves from the neutral position to the fifth speed position.
Abstract:
A transmission having a reverse mechanism for use in an automotive vehicle which includes a forward shift drum both ends of which are rotatably supported by an engine case, and a reverse shift drum concentrically arranged with the forward shift drum and relatively rotatably fitted to the peripheral surface of the forward shift drum. This transmission comprises a first rotation positioning mechanism provided on one end portion of the foward shift drum and adapted to regulate a rotary position of the drum, and a second rotation positioning mechanism provided on the reverse shift drum at an end portion thereof opposite to the one end portion and adapted to regulate a rotary position of the reverse shift drum. These first and second rotation positioning mechanisms are disposed at the outer side of the engine case respectively.
Abstract:
In a manual transmission for a vehicle, the reverse gear train is also provided with a synchronizer. The reverse synchronizer has a synchronization capacity smaller than that of the forward speed synchronizer for a given operating force.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle gearbox includes a main shaft and a driven shaft carrying respective meshed gears, and an intermediate reversing shaft carrying an idle reverse gear which is slidable to couple corresponding gears carried by the main shaft and the driven shaft for the engagement of reverse. A device for synchronizing the engagement of reverse are provided, which are carried by the intermediate shaft.
Abstract:
A manually operated automotive transmission includes an input cluster shaft that carries a reverse input pinion, a countershaft rotatably mounted parallel to the input shaft, a synchronizer clutch including a clutch sleeve defining reverse output gear slidably mounted on the cluster shaft and continually drivable connected to the countershaft, a reverse idler shaft, a first slidable reverse idler continually in meshing engagement with the reverse pinion, a second fixed idler pinion continually engaged with the reverse output gear. The reverse idlers are rotatably mounted on the idler shaft and define clutch teeth, which are brought into engagement as the slidable idler is moved by the vehicle operator to the reverse drive position and are disengaged as the vehicle operator selects forward drive ratios and the neutral position.
Abstract:
Herein disclosed is an improved direction changing mechanism used in a shift control mechanism of a transverse manual transmission. The direction changing mechanism comprises a drive member movable together with the control rod; and at least one driven member movable together with the shift fork. The driven member is formed with a rectangular recess into which a head portion of the drive member is insertable under a certain condition so that upon selecting operation, the head portion of the drive member is put in the recess of the driven member and upon shifting operation, the head portion of the drive member abuts against one of the side walls of the recess thereby to move the driven member in a certain direction thereby completing a gear coupling. The head portion of the drive member is so sized and constructed that when the drive member assumes its rest or neutral position, the head portion is spacedly put in the recess without contacting the driven member, while, when the drive member assumes its operative position to complete the gear coupling, the head portion contact both the side walls of the recess.
