ABSTRACT:
A compact manual transmission includes an input shaft and plural countershafts, one of which serves as the output shaft and the other of which serves both as a countershaft for obtaining a low reduction ratio forward drive and as a reverse idler shaft. Low forward drive is through a gear train comprising three reduction ratio gear sets controlled by a single clutch. Reverse drive is through two reduction ratio gear sets controlled by a single clutch. The transmission is particularly adaptable for use in an automotive vehicle having a transversely mounted engine. The transmission is further adaptable for direct connection with the ring gear of an associated differential, such as in a front-wheel drive vehicle.
