Modern cars
use synchronizers in order to avoid the need for double - clutching.
Not exact matches
I
used to have a 1989 Opel Vectra where I skip - shifted from second to fourth without double - declutching, and I quickly learned that skip - shifting can cause noticeable
synchronizer wear in less than 10 000 km.
When you are down shifting you are
using the engine as a brake, however if you are down - shifting at very high RPM and your engine is revving, over time the
synchronizer can be damaged, or it is already damaged.
As a means of increasing shift comfort, the manual gearbox
uses innovative new carbon friction linings in its
synchronizer rings.
Notes: This product is not designed for
use in most manual transmissions or tranaxles with
synchronizers, as extreme slipperiness may cause shifting problems.
The Nissan GT - R
uses BorgWarner components, including the dual - clutch module, clutch - control, shift - actuation systems, and
synchronizer assemblies.
Shift effort has been reduced with the
use of dual - cone
synchronizers on second and third gears.
The new transmission
uses multi-cone
synchronizer rings on all gears for smoother shifting and a more positive shift feel as well as for improved durability.
Single cone carbon
synchronizers are
used on 5th and 6th gears for increased friction capability and reduced shift effort.
In 1st and 2nd gear the transmission
uses a triple - cone
synchronizer, resulting in comfortable operability and good shift feel.
The Integra Type R features the world's first transmission in the 2.0 - liter class to
use multiple synchronizing cones for all gears, including a triple - cone
synchronizer in 1st and 2nd gears and a double - cone
synchronizer in 3rd through 6th gears, resulting in lighter, faster shifting.
The transmission's shift linkage operates smoothly, with minimal effort, thanks to the
use of shortened
synchronizer sleeves and a redesigned reverse - gear mechanism.
It is designed to be
used with yellow metallurgy (brass, bronze, copper) and other soft metals
used in
synchronizers, bushings, thrust washers and other components typically found in classic manual transmissions and transaxles.
Borg - Warner triple cone
synchronizers are
used.
