The upstream idler gear is rotatably mounted on the reverse idler shaft for engaging the reverse drive gear on the input shaft. The downstream idler gear is rotatably mounted on the reverse idler shaft for engaging the reverse driven gear on the intermediate shaft. A clutching device is provided for synchronizing and engaging the upstream reverse idler gear and the downstream reverse idler gear.
