WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System :
• Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
 Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

7A-2 MANUAL TRANSMISSION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CONSTRUCTION AND SERVICING
The transmission provides five forward speeds and one reverse speed by means of three synchronizers and
three shafts-input shaft, countershaft and reverse gear shaft. All forward gears are in constant mesh, and
reverse uses a sliding idler gear arrangement.
The low speed synchronizer is mounted on counter shaft and engaged with counter shaft first gear or second
gear, while the high speed synchronizer is done on input shaft and engaged with input shaft third gear or fourth
gear.
The fifth speed synchronizer on input shaft is engaged with input shaft fifth gear mounted on the input shaft.
The double cone synchronizing mechanism is provided to 2nd gear synchromesh device for high performance
of shifting to 2nd gear.
The countershaft turns the final gear and differential assembly, thereby turning the front drive shafts which are
attached to the front wheels.
4WD model is equipped with transfer assembly on transmission being mated to right side of differential output in
transmission.
For servicing, it is necessary to use genuine sealant or its equivalent on mating surfaces of transmission case
which is made of aluminum. The case fastening bolts must be tightened to specified torque by means of torque
wrench. It is also important that all parts are thoroughly cleaned with cleaning fluid and air dried before reas-
sembling.
Further, care must be taken to adjust preload of counter shaft taper roller bearings. New synchronizer rings are
prohibited from being lapped with respective gear cones by using lapping compound before they are assembled.
