Abstract
An electro-mechanical transmission includes a plurality of transmission components and at least one synchronizer configured to selectively engage and disengage at least two of the transmission components to effect operation in a speed range in the transmission. The synchronizer further includes a plurality of input components associated with one of the transmission components and a plurality of output components including a clutching mechanism configured to engage to at least one of the input components when the synchronizer is activated and disengage from the input component when the synchronizer is deactivated.
