The transmission is of the all-helical gear type
with synchro-mesh second and high gears.

the main-shaft operates in rollers carried in the main
drive gear and the rear end of the main-shaft is sup-
ported by a ball bearing mounted in the case. Oil
retention is by means of a hydraulic leather oil seal in
