Output Shaft
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The output shaft transfers torque to the ring gear, pinion gears, and differential.
The output shaft has a gear for each drive gear, including reverse. 1st and 2nd gears are free to spin and 3rd-6th gears are fixed on the output shaft. The synchronizers engage the gears locking them to the output shaft.
The output shaft has one roller bearing and one ball bearing.
