I came across this film from America, which I found very simple to understand, it might be of use to others with, like me, little understanding of the internal mysteries of a gearbox, synchro and ratios. You will have to excuse the pronunciation of a lever, be warned!

Every day’s a school day. I thought I knew exactly how a gearbox worked, I do now!
