Section 5 (T355 Manual Transmission (Service Information)): Description: Description: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
This five speed is a constant-mesh manual transaxle. All gear ranges, except reverse, are synchronized. The reverse gear utilizes a reverse brake for shifting ease. The reverse idler gear is supported on a sliding spindle idler shaft. The transaxle case is aluminum with a steel end-plate bearing cover. It is housed in a die-cast aluminum case featuring a two-piece, middle split design.
The T355 transaxle internal components can be serviced only by separating the gear case from the bellhousing case.
CAUTION:
The transaxle output shaft is serviced as a unit. No disassembly and reassembly is possible. Damage to the transaxle may result.
