synchromesh
Transmission gear synchronizer
Synchromesh is a transmission system in vehicles that synchronizes the rotation speeds of gears before they engage, allowing smooth shifting without grinding or double-clutching.
The term often modifies the noun: a synchromesh gearbox, synchromesh transmission.
Nearly all modern manual transmissions use synchromesh technology.
