Caveats:
i) Not a fancy video, and it's a mite long (I encourage folks to stick with it to the end);
ii) English is not the Presenter's first language; he speaks clearly albeit with an accent; and
iii) Probably the Presenter ought to call the synchro rings "blocker rings" ('cuz until they "clock" within their designed-in "slop" with the shift keys, they actually block full synchronization).
No other videos that I've seen really, properly describe the "clocking" of the synchro's...
Can you tell I'm a manual transmission fan?
One error I can find: early-on he says the synchro will make the output shaft have the same speed as the speed-gear. Incorrect; the opposite is correct.
