REVERSE CHECK MECHANISM
MT-10
B: OPERATION
The drawing below shows the state of the reverse check mechanism when the selector arm is in
the neutral position. The 1st and 2nd gears will be selected if the selector arm is moved leftward
from this point to a stop and then turned in either way. A rightward movement of the arm to a stop
will enable selection of the 5th and reverse gears. In the neutral position, the selector arm receives
a rightward force (force toward the 5th and reverse gear side) from the 1st return spring and a left-
ward force (force toward the 1st and 2nd gear side) from the reverse return spring to stay in that
position.
The following explanation describes how the selector arm and reverse check mechanism operate
when the driver selects the 5th gear and then selects the reverse gear.
(1) 1st return spring (3) Reverse accent shaft (5) 5th and reverse gear side
(2) Reverse check sleeve (4) Reverse return spring (6) 1st and 2nd gear side
