Synchronizer of transmission for vehicles
A synchronizer of a transmission for vehicles is described comprising: a double-mesh prevention member provided on a shift-and-select lever shaft and adapted to restrict the movement of fork shafts of the transmission. The double-mesh prevention member has at least two engaging portions for engaging first and second forward fork shafts, a first gap between the first engaging portion and the first forward fork shaft is greater than a second gap between the second engaging portion and the second forward fork shaft; a pin carried by the first forward fork shaft and biased substantially radially outwardly from the first forward fork shaft by resilient means; and a cam provided on the shift-and-select lever shaft, the cam is shaped and adapted to engage the pin, when the shift-and-select lever shaft is operated to shift to the reverse position, to press the pin so as to move the first forward fork shaft axially until the first forward fork shaft engages the first engaging portion, and thereafter to press the pin radially into the first forward fork shaft; whereby, upon shifting to the reverse position, the first forward fork shaft is moved by the pin and cam to put a synchronizer for forward gears into effect, thereby to attain synchronization between an input shaft and an output shaft of the transmission, but is prevented by the first engaging portion from moving far enough to engage a forward gear.
