What is condition B on NSW license?
A condition ‘B’ is placed on any heavy vehicle licence that is obtained in a vehicle with automatic or synchromesh transmission. It prevents the driving heavy vehicles with constant-mesh transmission (road ranger or crashbox).
What does a synchro do in a transmission?
Modern cars use synchronizers in order to avoid the need for double-clutching. A synchronizer, or “synchro,” lets the collar and gear synchronize their speeds while they’re already in contact but before the dog teeth engage.
What is the difference between synchromesh and non synchromesh?
Any transmission that requires the driver to manually synchronize the engine speed with the speed of the driveshaft is non-synchronous. Most manual transmissions in modern passenger vehicles are fitted with synchromesh to equalize the shaft speeds within the transmission, so they are synchronous transmissions.
What is synchromesh gears?
Synchromesh transmissions operate using a collar that applies force to a cone-shaped clutch attached to the gear. The collar allows the shaft speed of the gearset and the input shaft to be matched or “synched” to the output shaft prior to the collar locking into place and initiating a shift.
Why does synchromesh transmission different from basic transmission?
Synchromesh transmissions are a further refined version of the constant mesh system, although less common. How it improves the system is by adding another stage to the process of connecting the gears to the drive shaft through the dog clutch.

How is the gear locked in a synchromesh gearbox?
With this form of synchromesh, each gear to be engaged is locked to the mainshaft by a dog clutch sliding on splines in the conventional manner, but the ends of the dog teeth, both in the gear and on the clutch, are provided with matching chamfers at an angle of 35 degrees.
When did the conical dog synchromesh gearbox come out?
Conical Dog Design From a chronological standpoint, the conical dog synchromesh design should be discussed last, since it was one of the most recent designs to be introduced. It appeared in the early 1960s as the brainchild of the Fuller Transmission Division of the Eaton Manufacturing Company for use in heavy trucks and commercial vehicles.
Can a probationary licence with a manual transmission be removed?
