Gear Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Gears on the mainshaft:
- 3rd gear is engaged/disengaged with the mainshaft by the 3rd clutch.
- 5th gear is engaged/disengages with the mainshaft by the 5th clutch.
- Reverse gear is engaged/disengaged with the mainshaft by the 5th clutch.
- Idler gear is splined with the mainshaft, and rotates with the mainshaft.
Gears on the countershaft:
- Final drive gear is integral with the countershaft.
- 1st gear, 2nd gear, and park gear are splined with the countershaft, and rotate with the countershaft.
- 4th-5th gear and reverse gear rotate freely from the countershaft. The reverse selector engages 4th-5th gear and reverse gear with the reverse selector hub. The reverse selector hub is splined to the countershaft so 4th-5th gear and reverse gear engage with the countershaft.
Gears on the secondary shaft:
- 1st gear is engaged/disengaged with the secondary shaft by the 1st clutch.
- 2nd gear is engaged/disengaged with the secondary shaft by the 2nd clutch.
- 4th gear is engaged/disengaged with the secondary shaft by the 4th clutch.
- Idler gear is splined with the secondary shaft, and rotates with the secondary shaft.
The idler gear on the idler gear shaft transmits power between the mainshaft and the secondary shaft.
The reverse idler gear transmits power from the mainshaft reverse gear to the countershaft reverse gear, and changes rotational direction of the countershaft reverse.
