areequipped
with
a
longitudinal
drivetrain
.
The

transmission
is
bolted
directly
to
the
rear
of
the
engine
.
A

driveshaft
connects
the
output
shaft
of
thetransmission
to
the

final
drive
.
The
final

is
mounted
lo
the
rear

axles
with
integrated
constant

velocity
joints
transfer
rotational
power
to
the

.

Manual

Due
to
different
power
characteristics
and

re-

quirements,
four
different
manual

are
used
in
