Best Answer

Synchromesh is what's also know as "granny shifting". When you're ready to change a gear, you push in the clutch, push the shifter into the next gear, and let off the clutch. If you're in a heavy duty truck equipped with such a transmission (such as the Volvo with their 14 speed synchromesh transmission), DO NOT try floating these - the synchronizer gears are very sensitive, and you WILL wreck that transmission. Additionally, you only want to push down far enough to allow the shifter to disengage - as with an unsynchronized transmission, pushing the clutch all the way to the floor will engage the clutch brake, eventually causing it to burn out.

What the difference between a driving gear and a driven gear?

The "driving" or drive gear is the source of power or rotation. The driven gear is turned or moved by the drive gear.

How do you shift gears in a Volvo truck?

Depends on what you have. If you have a Volvo outside of North America, it has a synchromesh transmission. Volvo synchromesh transmissions are extremely rare in North America, and they'll more often have Eaton-Fuller twin countershift unsynchronized transmissions, where you have to manually make up for the lack of a synchronizer gear.
