Zusammenfassung:A manual transmission for use in motor vehicles is disclosed. The transmission includes an input shaft, an output shaft, and a plurality of constant-mesh gearsets that can be selectively engaged for establishing corresponding forward gears therebetween. In addition, a reverse gear assembly is provided for establishing the reverse gear. The reverse gear assembly includes an idler shaft, a first idler gear rotatably supported on the idler shaft and which is driven by the input shaft, a second idler gear fixed to the idler shaft and meshed with a reverse output gear fixed for rotation with the output shaft, and a synchronizer clutch operable for selectively coupling the first idler gear to the idler shaft to establish the reverse gear.
