TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE FEATURES

id050000100200

Clutch

Improved operability | • A hydraulic clutch control mechanism is used.

Manual Transmission [M15M-D]

Improved operability | • A triple-cone synchronizer mechanism has been adopted for 1st and 2nd gears. • A double-cone synchronizer mechanism has been adopted for 3rd gears. • A carbon synchronizer mechanism has been adopted for 4th gears. • Low friction bushings have been adopted for the shift rod supporting area. • With the adoption of a low spring constant and high set load type 1-2 return spring, a secure neutral position is assured.
Improved driveability | • To improve drivetrain rigidity, a closed section power plant frame (PPF) has been adopted.
Improved reliability | • A double engagement prevention mechanism (interlock mechanism) has been adopted.
Mis-shift prevention | • A cam-type reverse lock-out mechanism has been adopted.

Manual Transmission [P66M-D]

Improved operability | • A triple-cone synchronizer mechanism has been adopted for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. • Low friction bushings for the shift rod have been adopted.
Improved driveability | • In order to obtain more power from the engine, the total gear ratio has been set lower and the difference between each gear ratio has been set closer. • To improve drivetrain rigidity, the power plant frame (PPF) has been adopted.
Improved fuel economy | • Six-speed P66M-D manual transmission has been adopted.
Improved marketability | • Six-speed P66M-D manual transmission has been adopted.
Improved reliability | • A double engagement prevention mechanism (interlock mechanism) has been adopted.
Mis-shift prevention | • A push-type reverse lockout mechanism has been adopted.

Automatic Transmission [SJ6A-EL]

Improved fuel economy | • Six-speed SJ6A-EL automatic transmission has been adopted.
Improved marketability | • Six-speed SJ6A-EL automatic transmission has been adopted. • The Sport AT has been adopted. With this feature up and downshifting can be performed with either the shift control switch on the steering wheel or with the one-touch operation of the selector lever. • A 5-6 shift inhibit control has been adopted for rapid engine warming.
Superior shift quality | • Torque reduction control and line pressure control has been adopted. • Shift learning control has been adopted.
Improved driveability | • Active Adaptive Shift (AAS) has been adopted. • To improve drivetrain rigidity, power plant frame (PPF) has been adopted. • A control feature for climbing/descending hills has been adopted, improving driveability when climbing/descending.
Improved operability | • A direct mode control has been adopted.
