Abstract
A compact manual transmission, especially for use in FF drive vehicles, has a small overall length even though a synchronizer is provided exclusively for reverse gear. The transmission has an input shaft, first and second intermediate shafts disposed in parallel with the input shaft, and reverse gearing. The reverse gearing includes a low-speed driving gear disposed on the input shaft; a low-speed driven gear disposed on the first intermediate shaft for meshing with the low-speed driving gear; a reverse-only driving gear disposed on the first intermediate shaft; a synchronizer for reverse gear disposed on the reverse-only driving gear for causing the low-speed driven gear and the reverse-only driving gear to engage and disengage; and an intermediate-speed driven gear disposed on the second intermediate shaft for meshing with the reverse-only driving gear.
