Transaxle Components

The transaxle consists of a:

The transaxle is a constant-ratio (one-speed) unit and uses no apply
components.
– There are no clutches, bands, or valves as in multiple-speed
transaxle units.

A cam-operated parking pawl is operated manually by the gear
selector assembly through the shift cable and shift lever.
•
The cam has five detent positions:
– Park (P)
– Reverse (R)
– Neutral (N)
