Output Shaft: Description and Operation

In neutral, none of the gears are connected to the input or output shaft via the relevant synchronizer unit. No torque is transmitted to the differential.

The output shaft drive pinion is in constant engagement with the differential drive ring.

The third and fourth gears and the third/fourth gear synchronizer are located on the input shaft. The teeth for first and second and reverse gear are an integral part of the input shaft

The first, second, fifth and reverse gears and the first/second gear synchronizer and fifth/reverse gear synchronizer are located on the output shaft. The teeth for third and forth gear are an integral part of the output shaft.
