Manual Transmission System Description(M/T) (2016 2017 2018)

Overview 

The manual transmission employs a parallel dual axes type geartrain with a mainshaft and countershaft, and a full time engagement type for forward side gears and reverse idler select slide type for reverse side gears. The 1st, 2nd gear and reverse gear are integrated on the mainshaft and the final gear is integrated on the countershaft.

Operation 

Power is transmitted from a mainshaft to a differential gear via a main 1st gear, a counter 1st gear, a countershaft, a final driven gear during geartrain operation in 1st gear.

Reverse Lockout System 

At vehicle speeds of 12 mph (20 km/h) or more, the PCM, which monitors the signals from the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, activates the reverse lockout solenoid, which pushes the select lock cam into the locked position. As a result, the select lever cannot rotate to the reverse select position, making it impossible to engage the reverse gear. As the vehicle speed drops to 9 mph (15 km/h) or less, the PCM turns off the reverse lockout solenoid. The select lock return spring pulls back the select lock cam, enabling the select lever to move freely so the reverse gear can be selected.
