How do you shift a unsynchronized transmission, such as on older Zetor tractors? :think2:

With a little practice, shifting an unsynchronized gearbox is relatively easy:
Approach:
On the level without load, do not choose the lowest gear; with a 5-speed transmission you usually start with 4th gear, with a 4-speed transmission you use 3rd gear.
Upshift:
Using the example of 3rd to 4th gear:
1. Press the clutch, take out 3rd gear
2. Release clutch (gear lever in neutral)
3. Press the clutch, engage 4th gear
4. Let the clutch come back
Downshift:
1. Depress the clutch and take it out of gear
2. Release clutch (gear lever is in neutral)
3. briefly accelerate
4. Depress the clutch and select a lower gear
5. Release clutch
Downshifting is much more difficult than upshifting - but again it's just a matter of practice.
Note: On some Zetor models a partially synchronized transmission was installed, where the 2 highest gears in a group were each synchronized. E.g. with the UR1 series "2" (5211-7745T), such as the Zetor 5211 etc. Some Zetor models also have a gear brake, such as. 4911... and 5011 to 7745T, which makes shifting the unsynchronized gearbox easier, provided they are not worn and Go to:

Why, on the other hand, are “synchronized” transmissions easier to shift?
