ABSTRACT:
A countershaft automatic transmission for vehicular use is disclosed. The transmission has four forward gears which operate using two clutches and two dual synchronizers, The two clutches are mounted on a main shaft with associated gear clusters and the synchronizers are mounted on a countershaft with associated mating gear clusters. Reverse gear uses another synchronizer mounted on a lay shaft with associated gearing. Gear engagement is accomplished by actuating a hydraulic clutch after having shifted a synchronizer to select the gear to be engaged.
