Synchromesh unit (Manual Car Transmission) - How it works

[@jamessparks5966]

It's amazing that humans are capable of making such complicated machinery. You have to be a genius at this kind of stuff to come up with a system like this.

[@EducationalMechanics]

It is amazing James. Although when it's in pieces on the shop floor and you're trying to figure out how it happened, you wish for one of those geniuses to appear and lend a hand.😉

[@AgentOffice]

We've been at it for thousands of years

[@yunan9610]

Cause it's an accumulation of past knowledge, over hundreds of years, over multiple discipline. It's not that complicated when you pick apart each principle that works for each component. From simple stuff piled up to be more complex. That's just what engineers do. That's why there's a degree for it

[@EastCoastmostwanted]

Dont get me started on motherboards in your computer or ecu. But this is Quite impressive as well, its a blessing and curse to be living in this era

[@outcast668]

As much as I love 3d Animations, it is nice to see the components in action and this was honestly the first time that I got to see a working manual transmissions go through the motions with a cutaway so that you can see...Thank you for posting...

[@putinscat1208]

This was the best one, short and sweet. I've seen 20 minute explanations that are crap.

[@franic_scopes9165]

You have explained what absolutely nobody has done in any other video I have found. Thank you.

Got curious about synchros after midnight and this video was the best of the bunch for explaining AND visualizing what was going on. Thank you!!

[@ColinMill1]

Very good. Should be recommended viewing for anyone learning to drive a manual transmission car.

[@EducationalMechanics]

Thanks Colin.😀

[@HelenaOfDetroit]

That's a brilliant explanation. Thanks for the video! I own a 2017 Jeep Wrangler, and the transmission has had issues going into reverse. I took it to a mechanic, and he mentioned that it's a common problem with manual transmissions from Jeep at the time. He said it was due to the way they designed the Synchromesh. Now I just have to redesign it so I can make new parts and fix the issue. One day....

[@jetmr_5043]

I’m in the process of rebuilding my brother’s ‘51 ford 3 speed with a borg Warner t10 overdrive. I wasn’t completely sure how his syncro’s worked, but this video makes perfect sense to me! Thank you!

[@EB_110]

Best way to learn is seeing it happening. Thank you for the video.

[@AlexTheGreatish]

I am really high and this just blew my mind.

Higher than gas prices watching this at 1:47 am

[@TheNicky9905]

Awesome! My young nephew asked me how syncro worked and I struggled to explain it, your simple but understandable explanation was a godsend, well done and thanks for your great description and video of how it works, in fact I learnt a thing or two as well :)

[@TheOgre]

Fantastic explanation and demo of how this works!! Couldn't quite understand how it worked until finding this video.

[@MrsTiaRani]

this is the best video i have ever seen explaining synchro operation! awesome video, super easy to understand. thanks for making it :)

[@WilliamStrawnJoe]

I have rebuilt a couple of these transmissions successfully and I still am not sure if I understand just how they work. Thanks for the video. Amazing how someone or a team came up with the original design.

[@jetrider7558]

Awesome amazing easy way to explain a complex machine. My son is starting to drive my car and your video was the very 1st one to make him understanding how magics works inside the gearbox. Thanks mate.

[@mustaphabouchnita]

The most wonderful simple and easy explanation I have ever seen. Thank you very much.

[@hindunaik4000]

You are great because your practical is best. Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

please make more videos like this sir 🙏🙏 this was the best explanation for synchromesh gear box 👍

[@leodooley7572]

Brilliant short, clear and to the point visual and audio presentation. Now I understand.

[@adrianpolley9419]

A really straightforward and easy to follow explanation. Many thanks .

[@marktindal2186]

Perfectly explained, thank you.

[@kuyacargo7935]

Nice Presentation..❤ im going to watch it again. i need to synchronize my brain first😂 Its to much complicated for my Brain to Absorb😮

[@jay_2022y]

😄😄🤭

[@JossPretty]

thanks so much for the slo mo shots! really helps understand the whole process

[@vixenvg]

Excellent! Brilliant to be shown with the parts 😁 I'm not doing any btw, just tease the other half about my level 4 qualifications during our auto discussions!

[@TheTonester2312]

What a complicated thing to break down. Very nice 🙏🏽

[@osmacar5331]

That is really simple. And not a 3 year lecture on your life. If there was more of you I'd not want the world to burn. Anywho, got a vid on pre-selector gearboxes?

[@adrn8400]

Very clear and concise demonstration and explanation.. Thank you very much

[@henryfalkingham866]

Very good video, with cracking explanation.

[@GRAHAMAUS]

I didn't know Josh Widdecombe was a mechanic! Good video Josh.

[@VamsiMohanKrishnaVadrevu]

Amazing video! Notice how the synchro immediately matches the speeds of the dog teeth and the constant mesh helical gear. No wonder experts suggest never to rest your hand on the gear stick. The slightest movement of the gear stick towards a gear slot causes the synchronizer ring to start matching the speeds by friction. So keeping the hand on the stick causes unnecessary wear on the gear stick is in fact a very true statement!

[@teravolt6113]

Not only that, there's some really advanced chemistry behind the gear oil additive package's chemistry also. It has to be designed so that a friction modifier component ensures that enough friction is taking place as the synchro/gear teeth start gripping each other. Hard to synchronize slippery stuff together.

Yeah, until the sacrificial brass sychro ring wears out and you have to throw away the car... I have a RAV4 on which you have to remove the engine through the bottom to get to work on the gearbox.

[@xinuganda221]

Fantastic Video! Thank You 🙏🏻

[@manz7860]

My 3rd gear synchro really doesn't like aggressive shifts nowadays. Very cool to see why and how

[@gowdsake7103]

Great explanation

[@oqp1nom864]

Bravo . It was well explained !

[@qt1qg]

Looks like they used one of the reverse gears as a 1-2 gears shift sleeve. That's really cool, it lets reduce total length of the transmission shaft and length and weight of the case along with it. I wonder if there are any drawbacks to that kind of solution

[@jay.fromthebay]

brilliantly explained. makes sense now.

[@benkrohn1895]

Thank you very insightful

[@Gyppor]

Great explanation, thank you!

[@EducationalMechanics]

Thanks Gyppor

[@creativebj2186]

Amazing sir , big repect for you 👏

[@madcat4563]

Ah, I got the missing piece to the puzzle! Still a complicated thing if you've never worked on one before, but I know understand how they synchronise.

[@ZahidKhan-pf3gg]

You explained definately and clearly,i want a suggest from u sir,i'v changed the synchronized gear even my gear is noise when shifting what may the reason,one thing i should mention that there is a little gap play between main gear and shifter with synchronized gear,may be this reason? plz guid me

[@1966cambo]

thanks! can you maybe explain /show what causes the issue with worn out syncros?

[@filiplaskovski9993]

Can u make one explaining how they wear and cause grinding !!

[@howto-bk8ev]

excellent

[@fandase1]

Great explanation! Thanks!

[@DannerPlace]

Good video, thanks.

[@redcrafterlppa303]

Amazing how you explained the most essential part of a gearbox in 3 minutes. 1 question, what is worse shifting to fast or grinding the syncros to long?

[@BearThatSwings]

Be careful buddy

[@mohamedmohamed-fx8dg]

Thanks very helpeful

[@i.ak.1684]

But what I was wondering, and I’d be glad for a response, this system needs quite the pressure to to cause enough friction. Right? So obviously the drivers simple hand gestures must be leveraged hydraulically or pneumatically right? And what I was also thinking is that you must either be slowing down a running engine or accelerating a car, with only surface friction, otherwise the two systems wouldn’t match speed. Right? How long do Blocker rings live then? I’m sure the friction is very intelligently distributed across the maximised surface area of the blocker ring, with the shape of the lobe and all, and that the material on that part is well treated in manufacturing, in order to be resistant to such wear, but it just sounds like a really tough job for that piece of metal. Mind you my first semester of engineering still lies ahead of me some few months.

[@syaddby7033]

thank you so much sir 🙏🙏🙏

[@Queensraces]

Wow great video thanku

[@saintofconsequence]

Very nice. And the non-spiral gear is for reverse?

[@EducationalMechanics]

Thanks thelittlepilgrim. That's right, the straight cut gears are for reverse in this box, you can see the reverse engage on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIi9Z2CjYrNpjJYm8s at about 6 minutes 8 seconds.

[@stevedgrossman]

WOW... that is so cool!

[@Imapro11]

Thank you that was bad ass

[@Porsche996TT]

Which sort of metal is the yellow mesh?

[@turbofiat]

I've owned/own vehicles that require "double clutching" as we call it here in the US from 1st to 2nd when the gear oil is cold to prevent gear clash. As the gear oil heats up from friction, I can then shift from 1st to 2nd without any gear clash. I use the engine temperature as a crude "OK to shift" indicator. Meaning by the time the engine has reached NOT, it's usually safe to shift from 1st to 2nd without double clutching. Any reason why the gear oil temperature matters? I've got a van that is more prone to this in the winter. It requires double clutching at freezing. Once it's been driven, if can either do one of three things without double clutching. Shift from 1st to 2nd at 20 to 25mph real fast, pull out of 1st, pause for a second then shift into 2nd. Or blimp the throttle a bit after declutching out of 1st before shifting into 2nd.

[@putinscat1208]

I always wondered why these gears don't tear up when I shift.

[@theyellow8834]

So say if ur going down the road at 30mph in third gear, you put the clutch down and put the car in neutral for 4 seconds and the change to 4th, wouldn't that mean that all the gears would have time to stop and cause wear since the output shaft is connected to a stationary gear? From my understanding when the output shaft sleeve connects to another gear, the output shaft will be dominent and the gears will match the output shaft untill the engine is re connected? Cheers

[@ledzeppelin1212]

Yes, when the stick is in neutral with the clutch depressed, the gears will slow down due to friction. When the stick is put in fourth gear, the syncromesh needs to bring the gearbox up to speed. I usually double-clutch, meaning I let the clutch out when in neutral. Now the gears are spinning at engine speed, but aren't connected to the output shaft. I use the engine speed to rev match the input and output shafts to reduce wear on my syncros. My transmission is very old so I'm trying to reduce as much wear as possible. I then rev match AGAIN when releasing the clutch.

[@grendelum]

huh, neat.

[@danielsanchez4266]

So what happens if you hear grinding or your transmission is stuck in a gear?

[@yksnimus]

What I dont get is why the baulk ring doesnt need to synch with the gear in the right..it "breaks" the one in the right to same speed, but it can still misaligned doesnt it (at 1:00 i.e., they will move at same speed, but may be misaligned)? It will never be misaligned to the sleeve, but cant the sleeve hit the teeths of the gear in the right? I mean, sure point teeths make it har to collide exactly..but still, I dont think its impossible

[@FMunixxx]

The edges of the teeth are tapered. Once the input and output gears are spinning at the same speed, the force of the shift in conjunction with the tapering allows the syncro to slip out of the way and the gears to slip into alignment and mesh. The purpose of the syncro is to synchronize the speeds and block the meshing of the gears until the speeds are synchronized.

[@FMunixxx]

Also, the gear on the right is permanently connected to the drive shaft. The gear on the left is disconnected from the engine by the clutch. The synchro is adjusting the speed of the left gear to match the right gear, not the other way around.

[@kouiderezadam6750]

thank you

[@W333dm4n]

soo when I didn't fully put it in gear and heard a grind, was that the outer sleeve conflicting with the baulk ring?

[@goksonsirait7817]

to refresh..

[@stephenkiszenia79]

Synchronizers match the engine speed so it doesnt grind.

[@hamidmohamed6179]

Hi, I have a problem in the gear box that escapes Ftas No. 2 what is the problem

[@shreyassr1150]

nice channel! gonna tell my friends to sub🤘

[@gyoza4244]

My geo storm '92 needs new synchros they are too old and worn i also need to hold the gear shift lever because it would moce sometimes does anybody know where can i buy new synchro rings for my geo storm 92 that has shipment to mexico

[@piotrjerzy4270]

When u shift to 2 gear shouldnt mainshaft (with hub)be already in movement because of wheel spin ?

[@EducationalMechanics]

Hi Piotr, you're right, in a car in 2nd gear with the wheels turning, both shafts would be spinning. For this video we wanted to show the synchro in action so we held the main shaft stationary. We tried the video with them both moving but it wasn't very clear what was happening. Thanks. Matt.

[@kottelkannim4919]

So many viewers with just a single one to point this out! Here is stroboscopic demonstration of a synchronization with a rotating drive shaft: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m16vnGZ8ja2omNk

[@trekintosh]

Wait it’s just clutches???

[@jamesreilly3173]

i have a 2017 corvette got stuck in leaves and blew the clutch. paid 4800 dollars to fix now the transmission pops out of second gear. they say its syncros gear. now i need new trany. a pure nightmare,

[@krtolebiohazardcs1.681]

Sometimes I have problem with ejecting from 2nd gear. Then I have to push shift lever little more harder to move shiht lever from 2nd gear. What can cause this problem?

[@rahmantofarrelezra]

[@fajarherdiana4556]

how to calculate the number of teeth on the synchromesh?

[@dinpelamchanel9734]

Hi, I'ved change my synchromesh for gear 2,3,4&5 twice after my first change cannot stand for few miles..how could it possibly happened? Now my transmission still got remain the same issue which is a bit hard to change to other gears since my synchromesh couldnt work properly..hope you can help me..thanks.

[@SashaNaronin]

You probably have faulty clutch taht does not separate fully or simply don't press it all the way in when changing gears, so synchros do part of clutch's work, and they are too small and weak for that.

[@blvckAveli]

She was right... There is a piston looking spring in their somewhere...
