ABSTRACT:
An improved transaxle having an intermediate shaft on which is freely journalled a plurality of forward gears and a reverse gear in close proximity thereto, and a positive-neutral-position collar disposed between the spur gears and the reverse gear. A shifting key is axially slidably disposed on the intermediate shaft and has an end portion thereof which is yieldably biased radially outwardly from the outer surface of the intermediate shaft for selectively engaging separately each of the gears freely journalled thereon. The positive-neutral-position collar has a recess radially outwardly disposed in its bore and which recess is formed to receive the yieldably biased end portion of the shifting key therein when the shift key is moved between the forward gears and reverse gears, thereby providing the user a positive indication of neutral gear position.
