Manual Shifter
Lancer Evolution uses a competition-spirited shifter designed with a shorter stroke than the Lancer sedan. The action of the shifter is refined to provide quicker, more aggressive shifting that occurs during sport driving. The flexible support bushing at the shifter end of the actuating cable is more rigid to improve the firmness of the shifter’s feel. The short stroke shifter’s round, leather covered knob also provides superior tactile control and is weighted to improve shifter movement through the gate.
Transfer Differential
The Lancer Evolution sedan utilizes a competition proven viscous coupling and bevel gear transfer differential design. This design splits torque equally (50:50) between the front and rear wheels. The modified viscous coupling unit in the Lancer Evolution sedan features an elevated output shaft opening that matches the flat design of the front suspension crossmember. The transfer differential’s cast iron casing is cast with additional reinforcing ribs that help strengthen the assembly and improve durability. On slippery road surfaces, the viscous coupling unit limits the differences in torque distribution and automatically adjusts the power distribution ratio as required by the traction demands of the wheels to help deliver optimal traction and road-holding performance at all times.
The ruggedly-built transfer differential uses an elevated output shaft opening to help clear the reinforced front suspension cross member.
