To eliminate the noise developed in the old spur-tooth type of gears used in the sliding gear transmission, the automotive manufacturers developed the constant-mesh transmission that contains helical gears. In this type of transmission, certain countershaft gears are constantly in mesh with the main shaft gears. The main shaft meshing gears are arranged so that they cannot move endwise. They are supported by roller bearings that allow them to rotate independently of the main shaft. 2, record 1, English, - constant%20mesh
