### 5-Speed Manual Transaxle

This 5-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 5-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.
