<p>A synchronizer clutch assembly (10) for a transmission comprising a synchronizer hub (12) carried by a torque delivery shaft (14) and including a clutch member carried by a gear (26,28) forming a part of the transmission gearing and a synchronizer blocker ring (42,44). A C-shaped spring member (60) is positioned in the inner circumference of the rim portion (66) of the clutch hub (12) and has a plurality of lugs (70,72,74) which extend through openings (80) in the hub (12). The shiftable clutch sleeve (22) has ramped ridges (91,92) engageable with the lugs (70,72,74) on the spring member (60) to compress the lugs (70,72,74) radially inwardly. The blocker ring (42,44) has a surface (43,45) to frictionally engage a surface (34,38) of the gear (26,28) upon movement of the clutch sleeve (22) toward an engagement position until the rotary motion of the gear (26,28) is brought into synchronism with the rotary motion of the shaft (14). <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
