ABSTRACT:
A compact manual transaxle includes an input shaft having five fixed input gears, a first intermediate shaft rotatably supporting four speed gears meshing with four of the input gears, a second intermediate shaft rotatably supporting a speed gear meshed with the other input gear and a reverse gear meshed with a speed gear on the first intermediate shaft, and a differential. A transfer gear on each intermediate shaft is meshed with a final drive gear fixed to the differential. The transaxle further includes a pair of synchronizer clutches for establishing four forward gears by selectively coupling the four speed gears to the first intermediate shaft and a synchronizer clutch for establishing one additional forward gear and the reverse gear by selectively coupling the speed gear and reverse gear to the second intermediate shaft.
