Key features of a A578 manual transmissions: The A578 manual transmission, also referred to as the New Venture Gear NV3500 or T350 in some contexts, is a 5-speed front-wheel-drive (FWD) transaxle used primarily in Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, and Mitsubishi vehicles, such as the PT Cruiser, Neon, Sebring, Stratus, Eclipse, and Talon. Below are the key features of the A578 manual transmission based on available information: 01. 5-Speed Manual Transaxle Design: - Combines clutch, transmission, and differential into a single unit, optimizing space and weight for FWD vehicles. - Features five forward gears plus reverse, providing a balance of performance and fuel efficiency for compact and mid-size cars. 02. Construction and Materials: - Housed in a two-piece aluminum case with a flat steel 10-bolt plate covering the rear main bearings, ensuring durability and lightweight design. - Uses high-strength steel components to handle the torque output of various engines, including fuel-injected and turbocharged variants. 03. Gear and Synchronizer System: - Equipped with a stop-ring synchronizer system (introduced in later models like the A520 and A555), which reduces shift effort and provides precise, positive shifting. - Includes synchronizer rings for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and reverse gears to ensure smooth gear changes. 04. Bearing and Seal Configuration: - Features a front input bearing and seal serviced as a single retainer assembly, which can be pressed out of the front case. - Includes main bearings, differential carrier bearings, and seals, with rebuild kits containing high-quality replacements (e.g., bearings #200635, #200636, #563271A, and seal #327071). 05. Shifter Mechanism: - Two shifter rods protrude from the top of the case, facilitating precise gear selection. - Includes a shift lever seal to prevent leaks, enhancing reliability. 06. Fluid and Maintenance: - Originally filled with 2.3–2.8 quarts of Dexron II automatic transmission fluid (pre-1987 models) or SAE 5W-30 engine oil (post-1987 models) to reduce wear. - Recommended fluids include Mobil 1 0W-30 synthetic engine oil or high-performance transmission fluid (e.g., Red Line) for improved longevity. Filling with the front end elevated allows for extra fluid capacity. 07. Final Drive Ratios: - Offers varying final drive ratios (e.g., 3.85:1 in some models), which may differ by vehicle application, affecting acceleration and top-speed performance. 08. Remanufacturing and Durability: - Remanufactured units undergo rigorous processes, including teardown, triple cleaning, and inspection of hard parts. Worn components are replaced with OE-quality or better parts, and units are dyno-tested when possible. - Backed by warranties, such as a 7-year, 1-million-mile warranty from some suppliers or a standard 3-year/unlimited-mile warranty, ensuring reliability. 09. Vehicle Applications: - Used in models like the Chrysler PT Cruiser, Cirrus, Sebring, Neon, Stratus; Dodge Avenger, Neon; Plymouth Breeze, Neon; and Mitsubishi Eclipse, Spyder, and Talon, typically paired with 2.0L to 2.4L engines. 10. Rebuild and Parts Availability: - Comprehensive rebuild kits are available, including bearings, seals, synchronizers, and differential pin saver kits, making maintenance straightforward. - Parts like 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th/5th/reverse forks and cone blockers are readily available from suppliers like Allstate Gear. 12.
