T350 MANUAL TRANSAXLE
DESCRIPTION
This five speed is a constant-mesh manual trans-
axle. All gear ranges, except reverse, are synchro-
nized. The reverse gear utilizes a reverse brake for
shifting ease. The reverse idler gear is supported on
a sliding spindle idler shaft. The transaxle case is
aluminum with a steel end–plate bearing cover. It is
housed in a die-cast aluminum case featuring a two–
piece, middle split design (Fig. 1).

The T350 transaxle internal components can be
serviced only by separating the gear case from the
bellhousing case.
CAUTION: The transaxle output shaft is serviced as
a unit. No disassembly and reassembly is possible.
Damage to the transaxle may result.

in different vehicle applications. Therefore, it is nec-
essary that the correct transaxle assembly number
is used when ordering service parts.
