Abstract: A selector fork for a change-speed gearbox, comprising first and second shafts rotatably supported by the gearbox. A pinion and gear pair are supported by the first and second shafts, respectively. A synchronizer is supported by one of the first and second shafts adjacent the pinion and gear pair. A selector rod having a longitudinal axis is supported by the gearbox. A selector fork is slidably supported by the selector rod. The selector fork provides for the directed supply of splash oil to one of the group comprising the selector fork and the synchronizer.

Abstract: In an automotive synchronizing clutch for a multiple speed transmission, a synchronizer sleeve is slidable axially on a system of spline teeth formed on the outer surface of the synchronizer hub. Internal teeth formed on the sleeve are brought into engagement first with locking teeth formed on a synchronizing ring and subsequently with locking teeth formed integrally with the gear wheel that is connected through the synchronizer to a shaft. The ends of the teeth on the sleeve includes recesses into which are seated the clutch teeth of the gear wheel. The synchronizer sleeve is formed with one group of holding teeth formed with recesses on both lateral flanks and another group of guide teeth which have recesses on one lateral flank and a planar surface on the opposite lateral flank.
