Identification number starts with transmission code
The gearbox is housed in a crankcase cast from aluminum alloy and bolted to the left end of the engine. The block consists of a gearbox, final drive and differential. The type of gearbox is indicated on the identification plate attached to it (refer to illustrations).
Torque from the crankshaft is transmitted through the clutch to the transmission input shaft, which rotates on ball bearings. From the input shaft, the drive is transferred to the output shaft, which rotates on a roller bearing (right end) and ball bearing (left end), and further - to the main gear driven gear, differential side gears and drive shafts. The rotation of the satellites on their shaft allows the inner wheel to rotate slower than the outer wheel when cornering.
The output shaft is parallel to the input and drive shafts, the gear teeth of the transmission shafts are in constant mesh. In the neutral position, the output shaft gears rotate freely, and the main gear driven gear is not driven. The manual gearbox has five forward gears (everyone is in sync) and reverse.
Gear selection is carried out using a lever attached to the floor and traction.
A rod inside the manual transmission causes the corresponding shift fork to move the synchronizer sleeve along the shaft, as a result of which the ring gear of the desired gear engages with the synchronizer sleeve hub. Since the synchronizer hubs are splined to the output shaft, the drive is transferred to the shaft. Synchronizers, providing a quick and smooth gear change, consist of blocking rings, a hub equipped with spring crackers and a clutch.
