ABSTRACT:
The present invention, in its disclosed embodiment, is a strut-type synchronizer including a hub having a tapered guide slot adapted to coact with the tapered side wall surfaces of the struts for retaining the struts therein upon axial movement of the shift sleeve. In a preferred form, the tapered profile of the guide slot includes two inwardly tapered, longitudinally extending side walls terminating in an opening of a predetermined width. The opening is sized to limit the radially outwardly directed movement of the struts when the shift sleeve is shifted axially for inhibiting dislodgement and jamming of the struts.
