The NV T850 transaxle is available with the 2.4L
Gas and 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine options. Unique
gearing tailored to the performance characteristics of
each engine provides optimum driveability, gradabil-
ity, and acceleration. The gear ratios are as follows:

TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION
NOTE: Since transaxles use unique gear ratios for
each of the two engine applications, it is imperative
that the transaxle is properly identified, and the cor-
rect transaxle assembly number is used when
ordering service parts.
RATIO (2.5L
Gas) TD)
3.65 3.46
2.07 2.05
1.39 1.37
1.03 0.97
0.83 0.76
3.47 3.47
3.77 3.53
3.12 2.66
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 bell-
housing (Fig. 2). A barcode label is also glued to the
transaxle bellhousing, and it too includes the trans-
axle part number.
