Abstract: A method of producing a sliding sleeve for gearshift mechanisms includes two forming steps. In the first forming step a preform, which has been pushed onto a tool mandrel with an external toothing, is formed by roller spinning so as to form on the inner circumferential surface of the preform the toothing implemented on the outer circumferential surface of the tool mandrel. Subsequently, the thus formed preform is formed by profile rolling on its outer circumferential surface so as to obtain a formed part. Finally, the tool mandrel is removed from the formed part.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a synchronizer sleeve, and a method of manufacturing a synchronizer sleeve for a change speed gear. The synchronizer sleeve comprises in a known manner a shift fork recess opening towards the outer peripheral surface, and a tooth arrangement formed at its inner peripheral surface. The synchronizer sleeve according to the invention, which can be manufactured at a low price without affecting the wear to resistance, is characterized by a surface hardness of the shift-force recess, which is set by cold rolling, wherein the tooth arrangement is hardened locally, in particular it is hardened inductively. In the method of manufacturing the synchronizer sleeve according to the invention the shift fork recess is ready worked by cold rolling.
