  "term": "Crash box",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A type of manual transmission that lacks synchronizer rings, requiring the driver to manually match the rotational speeds of the input and output shafts before engaging a gear. To shift without grinding the gears, the driver must use techniques like double-clutching. This design was common in early automobiles and is still found in some heavy-duty trucks and racing vehicles where durability is prioritized over comfort.",
