ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a strut-type synchronizer. The conventional multi-component strut assembly is replaced with a one-piece strut component having a base segment and a key segment interconnected by a cantilevered biasing segment. The base segment is adapted to be mounted for sliding movement in a guide slot formed in the clutch hub while the key segment is adapted to engage the internal splines of the axially movable clutch sleeve. The biasing segment is adapted to resiliently bias the key segment into engagement with internal splines of clutch sleeve. The one-piece strut component reduces the number of parts associated with the strut-type synchronizer and results in simple and more cost effectively assembling operations.
