3-speed non-synchronous "crash" gearbox; used in automobiles pre-1950s and semi-trailer trucks. Another design of transmission that is used in older cars, trucks, and tractors, is a non-synchronous transmission (also known as a crash gearbox). Non-synchronous transmissions use a sliding-mesh (or constant-mesh, in later years) design and have ...
