Lubrication Flow

LUBRICATION FLOW
A common sump supplies oil for the manual transaxle. When the manual transaxle is operating normally, the differential assembly splashes the oil from the sump to provide lubrication. The splashed oil is collected in an oil trough. The oil travels down the trough and into the cover assembly. The cover assembly feeds the oil into the input shaft and the oil is supplied to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th drive gear bearings through internal passages in the input shaft. Similarly, oil is supplied to the 1st and 2nd driven gear bearings through internal passages in the output shaft. The designated oil is Saturn Transaxle Fluid.
