MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
Manual transaxle operation
CAUTION
The manual transaxle has 6 forward
gears.
•
When downshifting from fifth
gear to fourth gear, caution
should be taken not to inadver-
tently press the shift lever side-
ways in such a manner that the
second gear is engaged. Such
a drastic downshift may cause
the engine speed to increase to
the point that the tachometer
will enter the red-zone. Such
over-revving may damage the
engine and transaxle.
This shift pattern is imprinted on the
shift knob. The transaxle is fully syn-
chronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lower
gear at the appropriate engine RPM,
is easily accomplished.
To shift gears, press the clutch pedal
down fully, select the desired gear
with the gearshift lever, and release
the clutch pedal slowly.
The shift lever can be moved into any of
the forward gears without pressing the
button (1).
The engine will not start without
depressing the clutch pedal.
• Do not downshift more than 2
gears or downshift the gear
when the engine is running at
high speed (5,000 RPM or high-
er). Such downshifting may
damage the engine, clutch and
the transaxle.
• When shifting from 5th gear to
6th gear or from 6th gear to 5th
gear, push the shift lever to the
right while shifting, otherwise
The button (1) must be pressed and held
in to move the shift lever into reverse.
The shift lever must be returned to
the neutral position before shifting
into R (Reverse). The button (1)
located at the bottom front of the shift
knob must be pressed and held in
while moving the shift lever to the R
(Reverse) position.
