1ST/REVERSE MAINSHAFT GEAR

This gear is designed for first gear and reverse in a manual transmission of a Citroën 11CV. It transfers torque between input and output shaft and provides fixed ratios in both driving directions. The tooth design matches corresponding shafts and shift components. Outer diameter and width fit the available space in the housing and the bearing layout. The material suits mechanical loads in normal road use. The gear operates in combination with shift fork, synchronizer related parts and bearings. It forms part of the drivetrain and affects traction at low speed and during reversing maneuvers.
