Re: list of gas saving tips from best to worst
Can you elaborate?
Direct drive and its efficiency come from locking the input and output shaft together with a clutch rather than with gears. One is hollow at the end and the other rides inside it. When you shift into your direct drive gear, they lock together and no gears are engaged.
In a transaxle the output shaft (6) is in the countershaft's position, as shown in the cutaway, and can't lock to the input shaft (3) without gears (or, I suppose, a belt).
