6-1 Transmission general
Due to the characteristic of the electrical motor , i-MiEV does not require the conventional transmission which
has many speed changing gears.
In order to use that characteristic of electrical motor effectively, small and light weight reduction gear box is newly
developed for i-MiEV.
As for the transmission oil, DiaQueen ATF SP-III is appointed as low-viscosity oil for long range drive by low
friction loss.

6-2 Shift position sensor
Shift position sensor has very important role on i-MiEV.
Rotate direction of motor is decided by the signal from the shift position sensor and no mechanical function is
supported.
Therefore, i-MiEV has two shift position sensors as the parallel circuits and apply the back-up function.
