Default RE: How does a 2 speed gearbox work?

There are 2 types of 2 speed trannys. One is called a "finger type" and the other is called a "shoe type". The finger type was mentioned above but the shoe type wasn't. As you can guess the shoe type is almost exactly like the clutch on the engine. Instead of using an interlocking peice of metal, it uses plastic shoes that grip the bell on the second gear.
