(1) There are 2 types of manual transaxles used. A standard type manual transaxle and a sequential manual transaxle. A standard type manual transaxle is a common transaxle in which the driver operates the clutch and shifts the transaxle. A sequential manual transaxle is an electronic controlled manual transaxle in which the clutch is operated and transaxle is shifted hydraulically by moving the shift lever forward or backward and uses a special fluid in the fluid reservoir. The sequential manual transaxle may be identified by the shift lever pattern which consists of "R", "N", "S" and "+" in place of the conventional type shift lever pattern and no clutch pedal is used.
