OVERVIEW
The M66EHA50 manual t rans mis s ion i s a 6 speed unit manufact ured by Get rag-Ford in Col ogne, Germany.

The s hi ftcont rol mechani s m moves t he upper and l ower gear s elect or forks vi a t he lat eral and longit udi nal l evers on t he t op of thes hift control mechanis m. There are 2 upper s elector forks and 2 l ower s elector forks as fol lows :
The 2 upper gear s elector forks are us ed t o engage revers e, 1st or 2nd gearsThe 2 l ower gear s elect or forks are us ed t o engage 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears .
The 4 s elector forks t rans fer movement from t he s hi ft control mechanis m to the relevant shi ft coupl ing s leeve. The shi ftforks are mount ed in bearings in the trans mi ss i on cas e.
Two carrier plat es trans fer torque from t he longit udi nal l ever t o t he s lidi ng gear selectors . The carriers are locat ed and runin a groove i n the gear s elector plat e.
The carri er plates can move verti call y between 4 pos i ti ons . The different gears are s elected from one of t he 4 posi ti ons asfol lows :
