A transaxle is a complex machine that brings together a transmission and final drive components like a differential. In that way, a transaxle is capable of driving the axles without any additional components.
Engine torque enters the transaxle transmission. The transmission transfers power to the differential. Then the differ-ential turns the drive axles that rotate the front wheels. Both manual and automatic transaxles are available. Manual transaxle uses a friction clutch and a standard transmission-type gearbox. An automatic transaxle uses a torque converter and a hydraulic system to control gear engagement. MANUAL TRANSAXLE A manual transaxle uses a standard clutch and transmission.
