Synchromesh

Synchromesh is the term used to describe a manual transmission in which gears are brought to the same speed during shifting by a synchronizer. These transmissions became common in the 1960s, replacing in passenger cars the older-style unsynchronized transmissions which required the use of a technique called double declutching and other formidable driver skills to be effectively used.
