8 FIVE-SPEED TRANSMISSION
TORQUE FLOW
• A five-speed transmission has six gear sets that
provide five forward speeds and one reverse speed.
Either a sliding gear or constant-mesh gears may be
used for reverse. All forward gears are the constant-
mesh type. The Borg- Warner T5 manual
transmission serves as an example of a
contemporary five-speed design. In addition to
reverse, the T5 provides three gear reduction ratios
(first, second, and third), direct drive (fourth), and
an overdriven ratio (fifth).
NEUTRAL.
• In neutral, all of the synchronizer sleeves are
centered on their hubs as shown in FIGURE
2-9. Note that in this and the following
illustrations the reverse idler shaft and sliding
gear have been repositioned for clarity
FIRST GEAR
SECOND GEAR
THIRD GEAR.
FOURTH GEAR
• The synchronizer assembly locks the input shaft drive gear
to the output shaft. With the clutch engaged, the input
shaft drives the output shaft through the 3–4 synchronizer
hub splines and both shafts rotate at crankshaft speed.
Torque flows straight through the transmission at a 1:1
ratio, delivering engine torque to the drive shaft. This is
called direct drive because there is no gear reduction
through the transmission. The counter gears also turn
because they are in constant mesh, but they do not affect
torque flow because all of the speed gears are
freewheeling on the output shaft.
FIFTH GEAR
• Note the countershaft gear is larger than the
output shaft gear. Therefore, fifth gear is
overdriven. Torque flows through the
transmission at the fifth gear, or overdrive,
ratio. Typical overdrive gear ratios are between
0.6:1 and 0.8:1. This lowers engine speed for
economical highway cruising
REVERSE
•  
There are two common reverse gear designs
used on transmissions:
A.Sliding gear .
B. Constant-mesh gear.
