2585403 - Introduction - MANUAL GEARBOX AND DIFFERENTIAL

The structure of the gearbox consists of:

• a gear casing, which contains and supports the main shaft and the layshaft, the rods, the forks and the gear selection and engagement device;
• a rear cover that contains the 5th speed gears;
• the plate retaining the main shaft and layshaft rear bearings;
• a casing joining the gearbox to the engine, which contains the clutch thrust bearing and control linkage.

Because the vehicle is front wheel drive, the rear part of the gearbox (considering the vehicle's direction of motion) also houses a differential case which contains:

• the ring gear connecting the differential to the layshaft,
• the planet gears and conical roller bearings and adjustment shims,
• the satellite gears,
• the speedometer idler gear.
