Technician A says in a conventional transmission, the speed gears freewheel around the mainshaft until they are locked to it by the synchronizer. Technician B says when not engaged, speed gears slide away from the counter gears until they are no longer in mesh. Who is correct

Technician A is correct with his statement

Explanation:

The transmission system is responsible for the transfer of power from the engine of a vehicle to the shaft and the differential which let the wheels to turn.

For a conventional transmission system, the speed gear can move freely on the shaft until they are locked to the synchronizer.

In the illustration, Technician A is correct because the speed gears are independent of the main shaft and operate on their own. Also, the counter gear controls the countershaft and the speed gear in a conventional transmission does not revolve on the countershaft.

Therefore technician A is correct with his statement.
