Five-Speed Manual Transaxle Description

Five-Speed Manual Transaxle Description
This five-speed transaxle assembly is a transmission of constant-mesh design.
Combined in the assembly are:
^ All forward gears.
^ The reverse gear.
^ The differential output.

The basic components of the five-speed transaxle assembly units are the:
^ Transaxle case.
^ Input shaft.
^ Input shaft gears.
^ Output shaft.
^ Output shaft gears.
^ Ring gear and differential assembly.

Forward Gear
Shifting to a forward gear is accomplished through a combination of synchronizers with blocker rings controlled by sliding shift forks.

Reverse Gear
Reverse gear is not synchronized and uses a sliding idler gear arrangement.

Differential Assembly
The differential is a conventional arrangement of gears that is supported by tapered roller bearings. The final output gear turns the ring gear and differential assembly which turns the drive axle shafts.
