This transaxle is of a constant mesh design and is combined with a differential unit in a single case. The main components include the clutch housing, transaxle case, input gear assembly and differential assembly. The input shaft, output shaft and differential are supported by preloaded tapered roller bearings. The bearings are preloaded by selective thickness shims installed under the bearing cups in the clutch housing. The final output gear, an integral part of the output shaft, turns the ring gear differential assembly, thereby rotating the driveshafts which are attached to the front wheels.
