### Five-Speed Manual Transaxle

The 5-speed transaxle assembly is a transaxle of constant-mesh design.

Combined in the assembly are:

• | All forward gears

• | The reverse gear

• | The differential output

The basic components of the 5-speed transaxle assembly units are:

• | The transaxle housing

• | The clutch housing

• | The interm shaft

• | The interm shaft gears

• | The input shaft

• | The input shaft gears

• | The output shaft

• | The output shaft gears

• | The ring gear and differential assembly

#### Forward/Reverse Gear

Shifting to a forward/reverse gear is accomplished by a combination of synchronizers with blocker rings controlled by sliding shift forks.

#### 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.
