ABSTRACT:
A modified manual synchronized automobile transmission for use in racing cars eliminates second gear and imparts initial rotary motion from the engine to the output shaft via a by-pass of gearing including a normally disengaged clutch. Brief engagement of the clutch causes power to feed through this by-pass gear train for just so long as the clutch is engaged and, depending on the setting of interlocked collar selector forks, will cause reverse motion of forward motion in low gear. When the car is in racing modality and moving forward in low gear, it is then possible, without further reference to the clutch, to place the main gear train in direct drive, linking the main drive shaft of the motor and the output shaft of the transmission to achieve "lock up". The invention obviates the need for a flywheel. The invention may be practiced by physical modification of an existing manual synchronized transmission.
