Description

The five-speed manual transaxle assembly consists of a differential unit and a constant-mesh design transaxle in a single case. All forward gears are in constant mesh. Synchronizers with blocker rings, controlled by shift forks, are used for ease of shifting and selection of the desired gear range. A sliding idler gear arrangement is used for reverse.

All of the fundamental components, including aluminum transaxle case, aluminum clutch housing, input shaft, output shaft, and the differential assembly, are supported by ball and roller bearings. No pre-load of the bearings is required.
