Manual Transaxles

Manual transaxles use gears to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. The gears are arranged in a series, and the driver selects which gear to use by moving a lever or shifting a knob. Manual transaxles are preferred in applications where a lot of power is required. They are larger and a little more difficult to operate, but an ideal choice for heavy-duty tasks where steady speed is necessary.
