First SpeedAfter synchronizing the speeds of the mainshaft and
the 1st speed gear, the 1st and 2nd gear sliding gear
shifts to the rear of the transmission and locks the 1st
speed gear to the mainshaft through the 1st and 2nd
speed sliding gear guide unit. This 1st and 2nd speed
sliding gear guide unit is internally splined to the 1st
and 2nd gear sliding gear and is
exl~ernally splined to
the mainshaft. Both the 3rd speed gear and the 2nd
speed gear are idling. The reverse idler gear is not
engaged with any gear and, therefore, it is idle.
With a 1st speed gear ratio of
3.428:1, the main drive
gear (input) must turn 3.428 revolutions for every
one revolution of the main shaft (output).

2nd speed sliding gear guide unit is internally splined
to the 1st and 2nd gear sliding gear and is externally
splined to the mainshaft. Both the 3rd speed gear and
the 1st speed gear are idling. The reverse idler gear
is not engaged with any gear and, therefore, it is
idle.
