Abstract
A brake device actuated by motion of the shift lever during selection of the reverse gear operating condition has a check plate pivotably mounted on the gearbox housing and actuated by a selector finger of the shift lever. The check plate engages one arm of a lever during the reverse gear selection motion and causes the lever to pivot thereby causing a second arm of the lever to pivot a baffle plate. The over-running shaft has a rotor fixedly mounted thereon which causes an oil stream to flow as the shaft turns. The baffle plate is made to pivot into an obstructing position within the oil stream whereby the over-running shaft is braked. A second embodiment forms the baffle so that it obstructs the oil stream and deflects it onto the rotor thereby increasing the braking effect on the shaft.
