Geartrain

The gear train includes the planetary gear sets, apply components, and final drive gear set and differential.

Planetary Gear Sets
The CD4E automatic transaxle has two planetary gear sets to provide operation in reverse and four forward speeds. The gear sets are comprised of the following components:
- low-intermediate sun gear assembly.
- low-intermediate carrier assembly.
- low-intermediate ring gear assembly.
- reverse/overdrive sun gear and shell assembly.
- reverse/overdrive carrier assembly.








- reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly.





Drive Chain Assembly

Drive Chain And Sprockets
A chain drive transfers torque from the torque converter turbine to the planetary gear sets. The chain drive is composed of the following components:
- Reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly which acts as a drive sprocket.
- Driven sprocket
- Drive chain The drive chain connects the reverse/overdrive sun gear with the driven sprocket. The final drive sun gear located on top of the driven sprocket meshes with the final drive gear set. The final drive consists of a planetary gear set that transfers and multiplies torque from the planetary gear sets to the differential. The final drive consists of the following components:
- Final drive sun gear: Is chain driven by the reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly and transfers torque to the final drive carrier.
- Final drive carrier: The final drive carrier acts as the driven member and is part of the differential case.
- Final drive ring gear: Is held by the converter housing and is always the held member of the final drive planetary gear set.





Differential

The differential assembly drives the differential pinion gears and the differential side gears which in turn drive the front wheel driveshaft and joints and provides differential action if driving wheels are turning at different speeds. The differential assembly consists of the following components:
- Differential case (part of the final drive carrier).
- Two pinion gears supported by a pinion shaft.
- Two side gears supported by the differential case and halfshafts
