ABSTRACT:
A synchronizer clutch having a first member, a second member, and a clutch pack. The clutch pack includes a first clutch plate fixed to the first member and a second clutch plate fixed to the second member. The synchronizer clutch further includes a clutch hub fixed to the first member, a first ring located between the clutch hub and the clutch pack, and a second ring frictionally engaging said first ring. A shift sleeve is mounted for rotation with the clutch hub and sliding movement thereon between a first and second position. In the first position, the shift sleeve uncouples the first member from the second member to enable relative rotation therebetween. In the second position, the shift sleeve couples the first member to the second member for preventing relative rotation therebetween. Movement of the shift sleeve from the first position to the second position causes the shift sleeve to engage the second ring which, in turn, causes the first ring to move for exerting a compressive clamping force on the clutch pack.
