Abstract

A synchronizing device for a transmission, with pocket-like recesses being arranged on those elements, preferably in the clutch- and/or synchronizing ring, which effect synchronization for improved lubrication and cooling of the friction surfaces. The recesses are continuously supplied with oil from a lubricant circuit via an adjoining annular chamber and bores of a shaft carrying the synchronizing device and opening into the annular chamber.
