So, as you can guess from my other posts I've been looking at mechanics (the theory side anyway). I understand how the gearbox works, but have a grinding (pun intended) question.
Look at this animation:![[Image: sequential-gearbox-animation.gif]](http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/sequential-gearbox-animation.gif)
You see when the red and yellow dogs come together, that creates your drive. However, what I can't find the answer to is "what if the red and yellow gears come together when the dogs are inline with each other?"
Surely, rather than engaging gear the dogs will bounce off each other and you'd be in some sort of false neutral?
