Transaxle
The five speed manual transaxle assembly consists of a differential assembly and a constant mesh design transaxle in a single case. All forward gears are in constant mesh. Synchronizers with blocking rings, controlled by shift forks, are used for ease of shifting and selection of desired gear range.
All fundamental components, including transaxle case, clutch housing, input shaft, output shaft, and differential assembly are supported by tapered roller bearings. Preload of the bearings is required.
The transaxle is filled with transaxle fluid at the factory and requires no routine oil changes.
