Abstract
A transmission reverser for reversing a direction of an output gear carried by an output shaft includes a reverse shaft, a reverse clutch mounted about the reverse shaft and having engaged and disengaged conditions, and a reverse disconnect synchronizer mounted about the reverse shaft and having engaged and disengaged conditions. When the reverse clutch and the reverse disconnect synchronizer are in the engaged conditions, the reverse shaft rotates the output gear in a reverse direction of rotation opposite a direction of rotation of the output shaft. When the reverse disconnect synchronizer is in the disengaged condition, the reverse clutch is disconnected from the output gear.
