5-Speed Manual Transaxle
This 5-speed transaxle assembly is a transmission of constant-mesh
design. Combined in the assembly are:
| • | The differential output |
The basic components of the 5-speed transaxle assembly units are the:
| • | Ring gear and differential assembly |
Forward Gear
Shifting to a forward gear is accomplished through a combination of synchronizers
with blocker rings controlled by sliding shift forks.
Reverse Gear
Reverse gear is not synchronized and uses a sliding idler gear arrangement.
Differential Assembly
The differential is a conventional arrangement of gears that is supported by
tapered roller bearings. The final output gear turns the ring gear and differential
assembly which turns the drive axle shafts.
