The passive input system can be viewed as two transaxles within a common housing (one for 1st, 3rd&5th and another for Reverse, 2nd, 4th&6th). For any driving gear there is one transaxle actively engaged in the power flow between the engine and the wheels and one that is disconnected or passive. The non-driving, or passive input shaft system consists of the input shaft and clutch disc, support bearings and the meshed speed gears with their needle roller bearings.
