Power Flow

Reverse Gear

When the clutch is engaged (clutch pedal up), torque is transmitted to the input shaft. The input shaft and input drive gear transfer power to the counter shaft. The counter shaft transfers power to the reverse gear. The reverse synchronizer locks the reverse speed gear to the output shaft. Power is transferred from the counter shaft through the reverse idler gear to the reverse driven gear on the output shaft. The reverse idler gear causes the output shaft to turn the opposite direction of the input shaft.
