All manual transmission models are equipped with a 5-speed gearbox integrated into one unit with a differential and final drive. Torque from the engine is transmitted through the gearbox and final drive to the differential, which in turn distributes it between the drive shafts.
The five-speed manual transmission is equipped with a synchronization mechanism for all gears.
The 2AZ-FE engine is equipped with an E354 manual gearbox. The basic design and operation of the E352 manual transaxle is the same as on the Previa/Tarago models. However, the gear ratios have been changed to match the characteristics of the vehicle.

Triple cone synchronizers are used in the 1st and 2nd shift mechanism to increase the load capacity of the synchronizer. This reduces shifting effort and ensures smooth shifting. A double cone synchromesh mechanism is used in the reverse gear engagement mechanism to smooth shifting.
