MEHRGÄNGIGES HANDSCHALTGETRIEBE MIT BREMSE FÜR DEN RÜCKWÄRTSGANG

摘要

The present invention is directed to a reverse brake incorporated into the geartrain of a manual transmission which functions to stop inertial rotation of the input shaft prior to engagement of reverse gear. In particular, a constant-mesh gearset is operable with a first clutch to establish a forward drive connection between the input shaft and the output shaft, and is further operable with a second clutch to brake rotation of the input shaft without establishing a forward drive connection with the output shaft.
