Syncros are the weak link in most gear boxes the 10 ton like most BIG trucks
moves slow and the shift points are different for every application (load).
So the for strength and reliability the box is a non syncro box it takes
more skill to drive but you do not have to worry about the syncro popping
you out of gear going down a 10% grade with a full capacity load you would
have a run away at that point.

transmission that is in the 10 ton. Why did they make it without
synchronizers? I never knew why they did that. I believe they were using
them at the time in the deuce and 5 ton transmissions. I was hoping that
someone might be able to shed some light on this for me.
