Vehicle Shaft Repair

With a lower price to maintain, exceptional vehicle handling, as well as increased gas performance, a manual transmission is the favored option of countless motorists still today, though it has lost some appeal, due to the convenience of the automatic transmission system. But, should you drive a stick-shift, 12th Street Auto Care Center can repair your manual transmission, and vehicle, for you at our local Sioux Falls, SD auto repair shop.

Input, Layshaft and Output Shafts

There are three kinds of gear shafts within a manual transmission: the output shaft, the input shaft, and the layshaft.

  • Output Shaft: the output shaft is connected to the differential, which allows the wheels of a vehicle to turn at different speeds.
  • Input Shaft: the input shaft is connected directly to the engine and turns at the same speed, or carries the same rotational power that the engine puts out.
  • Layshaft: the layshaft is a mesh of gears as one whole unit, which works with the input shaft to shift between gears, selected by the gear selector fork.

When you’re having trouble with your car, call 12th Street Auto Care Center. Our ASE-certified mechanics are happy to conduct a vehicle shaft repair, or even a full replacement if need be.
