Italian term or phrase: cinque gamme sincronizzate per 3 gamme
Description of a tractor gearbox

It's the second mention of gamme (gear ranges) that is confusing me. I assume it isn't a misprint, but the above phrase doesn't seem to make sense. Can anyone help provide an explanation of this concept?
Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
I think the first "gamme" refer to "gear", "speed" - marcia or velocità in Italian.
The reason is because a gear can be fitted with a synchro.
