Used car warranty
Hello all,
Another question related to the used car warranty. I have come up with "sliding gears" not sure if it's right. Very grateful if someone can confirm either way.
Boîte de vitesses mécanique : les organes et pièces internes suivants : anneaux de synchronisation, arbres, axes des satellites, bagues baladeurs

Dog clutches
In a manual gearbox, all gear pairs are continually driven but one of each pair is free to rotate on its shaft (either the input or output shaft). When you "change gear" what actually happens is that this freely rotating gear is connected to its shaft by the dog clutch. As the other gear in the pair is already connected to its shaft, both gears are now connected and that is the pair that drives the vehicle. The other pairs are still rotating but disconnected and only one pair is connected at a time.
This is much easier to show than it is to explain - see the reference.

pignons baladeurs (sprokets)
In a gearbox - "pignons"/"sprockets" are toothed wheels that operate when switching gears. "baladeurs" mean that they are moving parts (along a central axis). You can have a look at this search page: "Qu'est-ce qu'un "pignon baladeur" ?"
Your translation couldn't be correct for another reason: "bague"/"ring" is a femine word in French and the adjective "baladeur" would have agreed (bagues baladeuses).
We use "pignon" as well for a bicycle (central "sprocket/pignon" and rear "sprockets/pignons"). We use "baladeuses" for hands too: that's when a guy won't behave respectfully and let his hands wander on a lady (in the office/bus/underground...).
"Balade" means a walk (aller en balade/ aller se balader) and "ballade" is the same as in English.

Note from asker:
| Thanks! So is bagues baladeurs an incorrect term as it doesn't agree? |

: I'm pretty much sure that the "pignon baladeur" is the reverse idler. Just not quite sure enough for a disagree :)
