GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
FRONT DRIVE AXLE
General Description
Drive axles are flexible shaft assemblies that transmit
rotational force from the transaxle to the front–wheel as-
semblies. Each axle assembly consists of an inner and anouter constant–velocity joint connected to an axle shaft.
The inner joint is completely flexible and has the ability to
move in and out. The outer joint is also flexible, but it can-
not move in and out.
The drive axles use one type of outboard joint and one type
of inboard joint. The inboard ends of both drive axles incor-
porate a female spline that installs over a stub shaft pro-
truding from the transaxle.

INTRODUCTION
ZF 4HP 16 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The ZF 4 HP 16 is a four–speed automatic transaxle de-
signed for cars with front–wheel drive and a transversely
mounted engine.
The transaxle has a hydrodynamic torque converter with
a controlled slip lock–up clutch.
A planetary gear train establishes the mechanical gear ra-
tios. The integral constant ratio can be adapted to the en-
gine’s power output and the vehicle’s weight. The elec-
tronic–hydraulic control makes controlled power shifts and
various shift programs possible. In selector lever position
”P”, the output is locked mechanically.The special feature of this transaxle is that it operates with-
out freewheels. Shifting between individual gears takes
place by means of overlapping clutch engagement and re-
lease.
The advantage of overlap shifting is as follows:
– The transaxle can be of more compact design
and is lighter on account of the absence of free-
wheels and the lower number of shift elements
– Lower drag losses, i.e. higher efficiency
– Lower peak torques acting on the components
and driveline.
However, overlap shifting necessitates high–performance
hardware and software, and precision engine signals.
