Gary,
I'll see if I can add a page to my web site this evening.
I've got a TR-250 box apart that I can use for demonstration purposes.

Jim,
Yep, I'm way behind times on constant-mesh versus the old sliding-gear
type
of transmission. However, to prevent gears from grinding or clashing
during
engagement, a constant-mesh manual transmission still uses synchromesh,
haven't we all shifted a transmission that grinds gears due to worn
synchromesh?
I still think the synchros are what keep gears from grinding when the
input
shaft is turning and it is attempted to move the gear lever into a slot
while the car is at rest. If not, what does keep the gears from
grinding in
that case (no pun intended)?
