FIRST GEAR
POWER TRAIN - Manual Transaxle
The 1-2 synchronizer sleeve moves forward to en-
gage the clutch teeth on the first-speed gear. The
power coming in the input shaft goes through the
first-speed gear and into the synchronizer sleeve.
The sleeve turns the synchronizer hub and output
shaft. The output shaft pinion gear turns the differen-
tial ring gear. All other gears are freewheeling. The
‘&
gear ratio for first is 3.54:1.
