Compact front wheel drive six-speed transaxle

six-speed transaxle

A compact manual transaxle includes an input shaft having a fixed transfer gear, a reduction shaft having two reduction gears. one of which meshing with the transfer gear, a mainshaft having three input gears and an output shaft supporting three speed gears meshing with the three input gears. The transaxle further includes a pair of synchronizer clutches for establishing a direct and a reduction gearset flow path, and a pair of synchronizer clutches for establishing the forward gear speed ratios by selectively coupling the three speed gears to the output shaft. A reverse gear assembly is provided for establishing a reverse gear. A locking mechanism is provided for selectively inhibiting rotation of a carrier assembly of the reverse gear assembly so as to cause the output to be driven in an opposite direction relative to the input for providing a reverse gear.

A manual transmission comprising: an input shaft; a reduction shaft having a first reduction gear fixed thereto and a second reduction gear rotatably supported thereon; a mainshaft; an output shaft; a first clutch for selectively coupling said input shaft to said mainshaft; a second clutch for selectively coupling said second reduction gear to said reduction shaft; a first input gear fixed to said mainshaft; a first speed gear rotatably supported on said output shaft and meshed with said first input gear; a second input gear fixed to said mainshaft; a second speed gear rotatably supported on said output shaft and meshed with said second input gear; a third clutch for selectively coupling either of said first and second speed gears to said output shaft;
