GENERAL INFORMATION
On the DS Gasoline vehicle, power is transferred from the engine to the transaxle and then to the wheels
through a drive clutch, drive belt, driven clutch, and transmission. The transmission is mounted directly to the
transaxle. The engine, drive clutch, belt, and driven clutch rotate in one direction only, and the transmission is
used to reverse vehicle direction. Because a transmission is used to reverse vehicle direction, the engine and
clutches are not subjected to reversing loads. This reduces maintenance requirements on the engine and
clutches. The transmission changes vehicle direction through fully synchronized internal gearing. A shifter
lever, connected by cable to a shifter arm on the transmission, is used to place the transmission gears in one
of three shift positions: forward (F), neutral (N) and reverse (R) (Figure 17-1). During normal vehicle opera-
tion, a neutral lock-out cam prevents the engine from running when the transmission is in the neutral position
(See Neutral Lock-out Circuit, Section 12, Page 12-6).
The transmission is extremely durable and should require very little service under normal operating condi-
tions. The vehicle should always be stopped before changing the vehicles direction. The only service
required on the transmission is to maintain a proper lubrication level (See Lubrication Chart, Section 4).
Under normal operating conditions, periodic adjustment to the system should not be required. The top speed
of the vehicle should be checked on a weekly basis to ensure proper operation of the governor.
The governor system is a flyweight type. It is mounted inside the transmission and driven by the transmission
gears. This type governor system measures ground speed of the vehicle. Because the governor is inside the
transmission, it is protected from abuse and damage that is common to externally mounted governor sys-
tems. If any of the governor linkage is removed for servicing other components, readjustment of the governor
linkage is required (See Governor Adjustment, Section 14 - Fuel System).
LUBRICATION
There are two plugs located on the input shaft side of the transmission. When the transmission is in position,
the upper plug is used as a level indicator. The lubricant level should be even with the bottom of this upper
hole. The lower plug is for draining the lubricant. When draining the lubricant, the upper plug should be
• A SPECIAL NEUTRAL LOCK-OUT CAM IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL
TO RUN THE ENGINE IN NEUTRAL FOR CERTAIN TESTS AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
WHEN THE NEUTRAL LOCK-OUT CAM IS IN THE SERVICE POSITION, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT
RUN WHEN THE FORWARD AND REVERSE SHIFT LEVER IS IN THE FORWARD OR REVERSE
POSITION.
