Manual Transaxle: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The G6M 6-speed manual transaxle features the following:
- Fully synchronized 6-speed transaxle
- Synchronized reverse gear
- Six forward speeds and one reverse speed
- An aluminum main case, clutch housing and structural cover
The function of the transmission is to move the vehicle from a rest position to motion. This is done by transferring the engine torque, through the transaxle, to the front wheels. The transmission input shaft receives power when the clutch is engaged. Torque flows through the input shaft to the drive gear. The forward gears are selected by a synchronizer mechanism. The helical-cut forward gears are in constant mesh with the corresponding gears on the opposing shaft. Reverse gears have helical-cut teeth and are engaged through the reverse idler gear.
