Both technicians are correct. Technician A is correct in stating that the counter gear is often a single piece of steel with multiple gears machined into it, which is a common design in manual transmissions to ensure durability and compactness. Technician B is correct in stating that the counter gear is driven by the clutch gear (also known as the main drive or input gear) and, in turn, drives the mainshaft speed gears, which is fundamental to how manual transmissions operate, allowing for the selection of different gears and thus different speeds.
