The output shaft transfers torque to the ring gear, pinion gears, and differential.

The output shaft has a gear for each drive gear, including reverse. 1st, 2nd, 5th and reverse gears are free to spin around the output shaft. 3rd and 4th gears are free to spin on the input shaft. The synchronizers engage the gears locking them to the output shaft.

The output shaft has two tapered roller bearings. Output shaft end play is controlled by a selective shim located under the bearing cup.
