ABSTRACT:
A compact manual transaxle includes an input shaft having four fixed input gears, a first intermediate shaft rotatably supporting three speed gears meshing with three of the input gears, a second intermediate shaft rotatably supporting a pair of speed gears meshed with two of the input gears and a reverse gear meshed with a speed gear on the first intermediate shaft, and a differential. One speed gear on each of the intermediate shafts meshes with a common input gear. 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 three forward gears by selectively coupling the three speed gears to the first intermediate shaft and a pair of synchronizer clutches for establishing two forward gears and the reverse gear by selectively coupling the speed gears and reverse gear to the second intermediate shaft.
