INFORMATION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

M2222000300019

The width of each gear tooth is increased, and the 
1st and 3rd gears are shared with the reverse gear, 
keeping the increase of transaxle length to a mini-
mum.

When the vehicle is driven backward, two idler gears 
engaged with 1st and 3rd gears are synchronized to 
transfer the torque.

TRANSAXLE CONTROL

GENERAL INFORMATION

M2222000200023

With the transaxle control, a cable type is adopted 
with which the gear is shifted through a cable 
between the transaxle and shift lever. The shift lever 
and control cable offer the following advantages.

Shift lever

• The spherical rotation fulcrum type, which does 

not have much looseness, has been adopted to 
the rotating shaft.

• The base bracket is made of resin to reduce 

weight.

• The lever has been made to have a shorter 

stroke for improved operability.

Control cable

• The one-touch assembly of cable ends at the 

transaxle side and the shift lever side has been 
made available to improve serviceability. (Except 
for the transaxle side end of shift cable)

• A socket with elastic body has been adopted to 

the cable (transaxle side) joint to reduce sticking 
or tightness.

Shift knob

• Spherical shift knob is adopted for easier opera-

tion.

• The size is designed to allow the operation with 

racing gloves put on.

• Soft material and leather are used with the knob 

to reduce damage to hand during sport driving.

SUPER ALL WHEEL CONTROL (S-AWC)

GENERAL INFORMATION

M2223000100063

S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) performs an inte-
grated control of ACD (Active Center Differential), 
AYC (Active Yaw Control), ASC (Active Skid Con-
trol), and ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) under the 
newly developed, 4-wheel controlling ideal AWC (All 
Wheel Control). This vehicle movement integrated 
control system offers the "superior drivability at 
driver's will" and "excellent stability".

NOTE:

For more information on ABS, refer to GROUP 
35B.

•

For more information on ASC, refer to GROUP 
35C.

INFORMATION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

M2222000300020

AWC-ECU performs a calculation based on the infor-

mation from ECU, sensors, and switches. Then, 

based on the calculation value, it appropriately oper-

ates the hydraulic units (for ACD, AYC, ASC, ABS) to 

control in response to the driver's operations and 

vehicle behaviors.

Control content

ACD transfer

The basic structure and operation are the same with EVOLUTION IX, but the 
strength of each part has been enhanced to support the high-powered 
engine.

AYC differential

The basic structure and operation are the same with EVOLUTION IX, but the 
strength of each part has been enhanced to support the high-powered 
engine.

Hydraulic unit (For ACD/AYC) The basic structure and operation are the same with EVOLUTION IX, but the 

shape has been changed to accommodate the change of on-vehicle layout.

Hydraulic unit (for ASC/ABS) In addition to the brake control of ASC and ABS, it also performs the AYC 

brake control.

AWC-ECU

Based on the information obtained via CAN communication and others, it 
appropriately controls ACD, AYC, ASC, and ABS.

Sensors

Adding to the sensors (throttle position sensor, G sensor, steering sensor, 
wheel speed sensor) that provided information to EVOLUTION IX, the 
following sensors have been equipped: Engine torque sensor, engine speed 
sensor, yaw rate sensor, and wheel cylinder brake fluid pressure sensor.
