Reverse Gear Output Shaft

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The reverse gear output shaft is supported at one end in the clutch housing and at the other in the transmission case by ball bearings.

When the reverse gear shift fork moves the reverse gear synchronizer on the reverse gear output shaft, it engages the reverse drive gear to the output shaft and drives the differential ring gear through a separate final drive pinion.

When the reverse gear rotates on the reverse gear output shaft, it reverses the power flow to the output shaft.

To engage the reverse gear, the motion of the shift fork is transferred to the reverse gearshift lever through the shift gate. When the reverse gearshift selector arm moves its end of the shift fork, the opposite end slides the reverse gear into engagement with the input shaft and output shaft reverse gears.
