General Description

The Suzuki 5-speed manual transaxle assembly is a constant-mesh design that combines five forward gears, a reverse gear, and a differential output. Gear selection and shifting is accomplished by synchronizers and synchronizer rings which are moved by shift forks that slide on their respective gearshift shafts. These synchronizers help to mesh the appropriate gears in order to obtain a gear shift. Reverse gear is non-synchronized utilizing an idler gear supported on a sliding Spindle idler shaft.
