DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 NV T850 Transaxle
The NV T850 5-speed transaxle (Figure 1) is a constant-mesh manual transaxle that is synchronized in all gear ranges, including reverse.
The transaxle consists of three major sub-assemblies: the input shaft, intermediate shaft, and differential assembly. The transaxle shift system consists of a mechanical shift cover, rails, forks, and cables. The unique design of this shift system provides a higher mechanical advantage, resulting in less friction and lower shift cable loads for smoother, more positive operation.
The NV T850 transaxle is available with the 2.4L Gas and 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine options. Unique gearing tailored to the performance characteristics of each engine provides optimum driveability, gradability, and acceleration. The gear ratios are as follows:
TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION
NOTE: Since transaxles use unique gear ratios for each of the two engine applications, it is imperative that the transaxle is properly identified, and the correct transaxle assembly number is used when ordering service parts.
The transaxle model, assembly part number, build date, and final drive ratio (FDR) can be found on a metal tag fastened to the transaxle case on the bellhousing (Figure 2). A barcode label is also glued to the transaxle bellhousing, and it too includes the transaxle part number.
