Description & Operation: Introduction
NOTE:
For Reference to KM 165 Transaxle Assembly, refer to Fig 1
.
Both the KM 160 (4-speed) and the KM 165 (4x2-speed) type transaxle assemblies are used on Colt models. Cordia and Tredia use the KM 165 (4x2-speed) and KM 162 (5-speed). All types are fully synchronized and incorporate an input shaft, intermediate shaft and output shaft. The major difference is that the KM 165 has a high and low gear on the input shaft which allows 2 speed ranges that can be selected. The differential assembly consists of a differential drive gear in mesh with output shaft gear, side gears and pinion gears.
