The S2000 uses an all-new, longitudinally mounted, 6-speed manual transmission, which is built for high performance. Its close-ratio gearing ensures strong performance in every gear, and the shift linkage is very direct, with short, precise throws. Double- and triple-cone synchronizers reduce shift effort, and a separate lubrication pump adds to transmission durability
Other high-performance features of the S2000 drivetrain include a compact pull-type clutch, a lightened flywheel, a highly rigid, one-piece propeller shaft and rigid axle shafts -- all designed to reduce drivetrain flex to an absolute minimum. The Torsen limited-slip differential is a highly efficient torque-sensing, clutchless type that smoothly transfers torque to the wheel with the most traction, whether cornering or accelerating in a straight line.
