Nowadays, this is the most widely used type because of
its goodoperatingcharacteristics and superiordurability.

(2) < Pin-cage type > Pin type
A relatively large synchronous capacitycan be obtained because
the friction face diameter can be made largewithout restricting the
synchronous-breaking gear spline diameter.

This is a synchronous mechanism that has two or three times the
synchronous capacityof a conventional type by having two or three
synchro rings and synchronous-breaking gear taper cones.

2. Troubleshooting
1 Transmission gear slipout
1) Trouble phenomena
The change lever returns to the neutral position while the vehicle is
traveling, even though it has not been shifted.
2) Trouble Causes Chart
Use conditionsGear-related causes
Shift fork or sleeve groove wear
Shift shaft groove or lock ball wear
or deformation
Faulty lock ball spring tension or
broken spring
Shift head wear
Inversion lever wear
Excessive gear thrust play
Excessive gear radial play
Excessive hub and sleeve spline play
Gear dog or sleeve spline wear
Output shaft bearing wear
Control system play
Insufficient shift stroke
Stick cross shaft joint
Sudden acceleration on rough road
Instead shifting operation
Gear slipout
Transmission controlShift mechanism
3) Conditions that produce slipout
(1) The engine brake on the downhill
During sudden acceleration
The load changes rapidly
A helical gearis adopted for the Hino transmission,
so a thrust force is produced when the load changes.
(2)When traveling on a rough road or at other times when
vibration is applied to the vehicle.
When the vehicle is vibrating, the transmission and
transmission control do not move in unison.
(3) Malfunction of gear anti-slip out device
Cross shaft
Shift shaft groove and ball
These parts determine the shift shaft position and
regulate its movement, using the force of a spring.

MAIN SHAFT GEAR
The gear anti-slipout device and shifting force have a reciprocal
relationship: When the operating force is light, the gear can slip
out easily; when the gear cannot slip out easily, the operating
force is heavy.

SHIFT SHAFT
Shift head part
Large shifter fork and sleeve play
When the shift head is deformed due to wear or damage,
the change lever play becomes large; in extreme cases,
only the change lever slips out of position, while the gear
remains engaged.
Fork and sleeve groove wear
(3) Gear-related causes
Large gear thrust play
•Gear edge face wear
•Snap ring wear
•Inaccurate selection of snap ring thickness during overhaul
Large gear radial play
•Gear inner diameter and output shaft wear
•Needle bearing and bush wear
Large hub and sleeve play
Spline wear
