Double synchronization
The first and second gears are double
synchronised. Because a second synchronizer
ring is used, the effective surface compared with
the simple synchronizer is approximately
doubled. Ease of gear changing is considerably
improved through double synchronization.
The double synchronization components are:
inner synchronizer ring, synchronizer cone, outer
synchronizer ring and synchronizer hub.
The conical surface on the gearwheel is no
longer present. Synchronisation is achieved
through the two synchronizer rings and the
synchronizer cone which fits on the gearwheel.
Differential
The basic components of the differential are:
• Crown wheel
• Differential housing with two taper roller
bearings
• Differential pinions
• Drive halfshaft pinions
