GENERAL INFORMATION
The new Chrysler designed and built A-460, A-465, and A-525 "fully-synchronized" manual transaxies combine gear reduction, ratio selection, and differential functions in one unit housed in a die-cast aluminum case. The A-460 is a four-speed while both the A-465 and A-525 are five-speeds. The A-525 has a close-ratio gear set with different 2nd, 3rd, and 4th- gear ratios than the A-465, to provide better performance through the gears, while 1st and 5th gear ratios are the same as the A-465 to maintain the same launch and top-gear characteristics.
All manual transaxies have larger diameter 1-2 synchronizers and 1st and 2nd stop rings that provide greater capacity and reduce 1st and 2nd gear shift effort. This new synchronizer also utilizes a new cast iron 1-2 shift fork and plastic pads that are wider than the other shift fork pads on the transaxie. All synchronizers use a "'winged strut" design that prevents the struts from popping out of position.
In addition, the clutch release shaft is larger in diameter to improve clutch operation.

If any synchronizer is to be disassembled, mark all parts so that they will be reassembled in the same position.
