Zero drag baulk ring synchronizer

A synchronizer assembly, comprising:

• a pair of engageable members each including an exterior cone surface and first exterior splines;
• a central synchronizer ring disposed between the pair of engageable members and having second exterior splines, the central synchronizer ring having a plurality of locations where the second exterior splines are discontinued, each of the plurality of locations having a cavity supporting a spring and roller wherein the spring biases the roller in a radially outward direction;
• a pair of synchronizer cone rings disposed on opposite sides of the central synchronizer ring, the pair of synchronizer cone rings each including third exterior splines and an interior cone surface opposing the exterior cone surface of respective ones of the pair of rotary members, the pair of synchronizer cone rings having axially projecting lugs at the plurality of locations where the second exterior splines are discontinued;
• a sliding synchronizer sleeve engaging the second exterior splines of the central synchronizer ring and movable for engaging the third exterior splines of the pair of synchronizer cone rings and the first exterior splines of the pair of engageable members;
• and
• a plurality of interlocking clips engaging the pair of synchronizer cone rings at the plurality of locations where the second exterior splines are discontinued and including an aperture for receiving the roller, wherein the plurality of interlocking clips include a pair of end flanges having opposing inner surfaces engaging a pair of ledges on the pair of synchronizer cone rings.
