Third Gear Power Flow

The third gear synchromesh hub is fixed to the output shaft "B", the hub synchronizes the speed of the hub (output shaft "B") and the speed of the third gear. The hub then locks the third gear to the output shaft "B" and drive is transmitted out through the final drive "D". See Fig 1 .

Note: Output shaft "B" is in mesh with the final drive output drive "D".
