Mazda 3 Manual Transmission Features
The gearbox converts the torque transmitted from the engine in magnitude and direction
This is necessary to ensure optimal speed and patency of the car, high efficiency of the engine and reversing the car.
In addition, the gearbox separates the engine and transmission when the car is stopped and parked, as well as when it coasts with the engine running.
All manual transmission models are equipped with a five-speed gearbox combined with a differential and final drive.
Torque from the engine is transmitted through the gearbox and final drive to the differential, which in turn distributes it between the drive shafts.
The five-speed manual transmission is equipped with a synchronization mechanism for all gears.
