How a manual transmission works... a question
Trying to understand more about manual's, and came across this
excellent article: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/transmission5.htm However, here's the part I don't get: What is preventing the driver from shifting into reverse while going 60 miles an hour? >From the colored diagram.... Please correct me if I have this wrong: The purple collars are always spinning when the car is moving. The blue, red, and green STOP spinning when the clutch is in neutral and the clutch is pushed in, or at least, spinning slowly from the friction of the output shaft (yellow) rubbing on the bearings that the blue gears ride on. TIA! |
