System Description

T850 MANUAL TRANSAXLE

DESCRIPTION





The NV T850 5-speed transaxle (Fig. 1) is a constant-mesh manual transaxle that is synchronized in all gear ranges, including reverse.
The transaxle consists of three major sub-assemblies: the input shaft, intermediate shaft, and differential assembly. The transaxle shift system consists of a mechanical shift cover, rails, forks, and cables. The unique design of this shift system provides a higher mechanical advantage, resulting in less friction and lower shift cable loads for smoother, more positive operation.





The NV T850 transaxle is available with the 2.4L Turbocharged Engine option. Its gear ratios are as follows:





TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION

The transaxle model, assembly part number, build date, and final drive ratio (FDR) can be found on a metal tag fastened to the transaxle case on the bellhousing (Fig. 2). A barcode label is also glued to the transaxle bellhousing, and it too includes the transaxle part number.
