Abstract
A cone clutch mechanism has its forward and reverse clutch gears supported by bearings mounted on the housing, with a main shaft supported by bearings mounted on the housing in the same planes as the forward and reverse gear bearings. The male cone member is biased by two springs, each encircling cam faces on the member and bearing against the forward and reverse clutch gears, respectively, to bias the cone member away from its center or neutral position.
