G288 MANUAL TRANSAXLE (Continued)
OPERATION
NEUTRAL
Engine power is transmitted to the input shaft via
the clutch assembly and the input shaft turns. Since
no synchronizers are engaged on either the input or
output shafts, power is not transmitted to the output
shaft and the differential does not turn (Fig. 5).
