CAUTION:
All gears and shafts must not be interchanged with other transaxles; they will not function correctly.
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, thereby turning the drive axle shafts.
The gear ratios of each transaxle are shown in the following chart. The chart also shows which transaxles are available with the reverse-input shaft brake. This brake allows easier shifting into reverse and helps eliminate reverse gear clash.
