Power Flow

Neutral:  In neutral, with engine running and clutch engaged, the input shaft will turn. With 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th and 5th/Rev synchronizers in a neutral position, power will not flow to output shaft.

1st Gear:  In 1st gear range, 3rd/4th and 5th/Rev synchronizers are in neutral and the 1st/2nd synchronizer sleeve is moved toward the 1st gear blocking ring and 1st gear on the counter shaft. Because 1st/2nd synchronizer hub is splined to counter shaft, torque is transmitted from input shaft 1st gear through counter shaft 1st gear, synchronizer sleeve, and hub, counter shaft 3rd gear, output shaft 3rd gear, and into the differential (final drive) assembly.

2nd Gear:  In 2nd gear range, 3rd/4th and 5th/Rev synchronizers are in neutral and 1st/2nd synchronizer sleeve is moved toward the 2nd gear blocking ring and 2nd gear on the counter shaft. Since the 1st/2nd synchronizer hub is splined to the counter shaft, torque is transmitted from the input shaft 2nd gear through the counter shaft 2nd gear, synchronizer sleeve and hub, counter shaft 3rd gear, output shaft 3rd gear, and into the differential (final drive) assembly.

3rd Gear:  In 3rd gear range, 1st/2nd and 5th/Rev synchronizers are in a neutral, and 3rd/4th synchronizer sleeve is moved toward the 3rd gear blocking ring and 3rd gear on the input shaft. Since 3rd/4th synchronizer hub is splined to input shaft, torque is transmitted from input shaft through the synchronizer hub and sleeve, 3rd drive gear, 3rd driven gear, output shaft, and into the differential (final drive) assembly.

4th Gear:  In 4th gear range, 1st/2nd and 5th/Rev synchronizers are in neutral and 3rd/4th synchronizer sleeve is moved toward the 4th gear blocking ring and 4th gear on the input shaft. Since the 3rd/4th synchronizer hub is splined to input shaft, torque is transmitted from input shaft through synchronizer hub and sleeve, 4th drive gear, 4th driven gear, output shaft and into the differential (final drive) assembly.

5th Gear:  In 5th gear range, 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th synchronizers are in a neutral position and the 5th/Rev synchronizer sleeve is moved toward the 5th gear blocking ring and 5th gear on the output shaft. Since the 5th/Rev synchronizer hub is splined to the output shaft, torque is transmitted from the input shaft through the 5th drive gear, 5th driven gear, synchronizer sleeve and hub, output shaft, and into the differential (final drive) assembly.

Reverse:  In reverse gear range, Ist/2nd and 3rd/4th synchronizers are in neutral and the 5th/Rev synchronizer sleeve is moved toward the reverse gear blocking ring and the reverse gear on the output shaft. Since the 5th/Rev synchronizer hub is splined to the output shaft, torque is transmitted from the input shaft through the input shaft 1st drive gear, counter shaft 1st gear, reverse driven gear, synchronizer sleeve and hub, output shaft, and into the differential (final drive) assembly.
