Abstract
The invention relates to a synchronizing device with a synchronizer body, a sliding sleeve, a gearwheel with coupling toothing and a synchronizer ring which is displaceable between synchronizer body and coupling toothing axially in and counter to the synchronization direction(s). With the specification of being able to position the synchronizer ring reliably in a neutral position, it is proposed that the synchronizer ring is fixed to the synchronizer body in the neutral position by means of a spring device.
