  3. MAIN FEATURES


    1. The EC60 manual transaxle uses the following items to improve the torque transmission efficiency and achieve excellent shift feeling:

      Improvement of Torque Transmission Efficiency

      • Low friction bearings are used.

      • A transmission oil separator is used.
      Excellent Shift Feeling

      • The shift mechanism has been optimized.

      • A triple-cone type synchromesh mechanism is used for the 1st and 2nd gears.

      • A single-cone type synchromesh mechanism is used for the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears.

      • A pre-synchronizing system is used for reverse.

      • A 2-step sleeve chamfer structure is used for No. 2 transmission hub sleeve (synchromesh mechanism for the 3rd and 4th gears).
