General Description
Manual Transaxle Construction and ServicingS7RS0B5201001
The transaxle provides five forward speeds and one reverse speed by means of three synchromeshs 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 sleeve & hub is mounted on countershaft and engaged with countershaft 1st gear or 2nd
gear, while the high speed synchronizer sleeve & hub is don e on input shaft and engaged with input shaft 3rd gear or
4th gear. The 5th speed synchronizer sleev e & hub on input shaft is engaged with input shaft fifth gear mounted on the
input shaft.
To prevent the cracking noise from the reverse gear when shifting transaxle gear into the reverse gear, the reverse
shift braking device is used.
The device utilizes the 5th synchromesh, which is the lever synchro type, to appl y the brake on the input shaft rotation.
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.
For servicing, it is ne cessary to use genuine sealant or its equivalent on mating surfaces of transaxle case which is
made of aluminum. The case fastening bolts must be tight ened 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 reassembling.
Further, care must be taken to adjust preload of count ershaft taper roller bearings. New synchronizer rings are
prohibited from being lapped with respective gear cones by using lapping compound before they are assembled.

General Description
Steering Wheel and Column ConstructionS7RS0B6201001
This double tube type steering column has the following three important features in addition to the steering function:
• The column is energy absorbing, desig ned to compress in a front-end collision.
• The ignition switch and lock are mounted conveniently on this column.
• With the column mounted lock, the ignition and steering op erations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehicle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important th at only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used as
designated, and that they are tightened to the specified torque. When the column assembly is removed from the
vehicle, special care must be taken in handling it. Use of a steering wheel puller or a sharp blow on the end of the
steering shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the a ssembly could shear the plastic shear pins which maintain
column length and position.
The driver air bag (inflator) module is one of the supplemental restraint (air bag) system components and is mounted
to the center of the steering wheel. During certain frontal crashes, the air bag system supplements the restraint of the
driver’s and passenger’s seat belts by deploying the air b ags. The air bag (inflator) module should be handled with
care to prevent accidental deployment. When servicing, be sure to observe “Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of
Air Bag System in Section 8B”.

Steering Column Removal and InstallationS7RS0B6206006
CAUTION!
Once the steering column is removed from
the vehicle, the column is extremely
susceptible to damage.
• Dropping the column assembly on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen
the plastic shear pins which maintain
column length.
• Leaning on the column assembly could cause it to bend or deform.
Any of the damage could impair the column’s
collapsible design.
Steering column mounting nuts should not
be loosened with steering shaft joint upper
side bolt tightened as this could cause
damage to shaft joint bearing.
NOTE
When servicing steering column or any
column-mounted component, remove
steering wheel. But when removing steering
column simply to gain access to instrument
panel components, leave steering wheel
installed on steering column.
Removal
WARNING!
Never rest a steering column assembly on
the steering wheel with the air bag (inflator)
module face down and column vertical.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system. Re fer to “Disabling Air Bag
System in Section 8B”.
3) Remove steering wheel and contact coil cable assembly referring to “S teering Wheel Removal and
Installation” and “Contact Coil Cable Assembly
Removal and Installation”.
4) Detach lighting switch and wiper switch from steering column.
5) Remove immobilizer cont rol module from steering
column, referring to “Immo bilizer Control Module
(ICM) Removal and Installation in Section 10C”.
6) Remove steering column hole cover.
7) Remove steering joint cover.
8) Make alignment marks (4) on lower shaft (1) and shaft joint of steering column (2) and lower shaft (1)
and pinion shaft (3) for a guide during reinstallation.
9) Remove lower shaf t joint bolts (5).
10) Remove steering lower shaft (1).
11) Remove steering column mounting nuts (1).
12) Remove steering column from vehicle.

rol module from steering
column, referring to “Immo bilizer Control Module
(ICM) Removal and Installation in Section 10C”.
8) Install lighting switch and wiper switch to steering column.
9) Install contact coil cable assembly and steering wheel referring to “Conta ct Coil Cable Assembly
Removal and Installation” and “Steering Wheel
Removal and Installation”.
10) Install steering column hole cover. 11) Connect negative (–) battery to cable.
12) Enable air bag system refe rring to “Enabling Air Bag
System in Section 8B”.
