ABSTRACT:
A variable speed ratio manual transmission includes two intermediate shafts straddling an output shaft that is coaxial with an input shaft; each intermediate shaft and the output shaft carries a synchronizer coupling. Each shaft carries at least one journalled pinion and has at least one pinion drivably connected to the shaft. The gear selector mechanism includes a shift rail having a selector finger angularly movable with respect to shift forks. A check plate locked against axial displacement prevents movement of the unselected shift forks. Shift rail motion is transmitted to the selected shift forks of the intermediate shafts by auxiliary arms that extend radially from the shift rail into selected engagement with the shift forks.
