Abstract
A cylinder block brake for a hydrostatic transmission or transaxle is provided. A pawl and return spring are located in a housing adjacent to a motor cylinder block. The pawl has a first, biased position where it is not engaged to the motor cylinder block and a second, braking position where it is engaged to the motor cylinder block. A brake actuation shaft which engages the pawl is located in and supported, at least partially, by at least one housing member. The brake actuation shaft is retained in the housing through the interface of features on the brake actuation shaft with a housing member, the pawl and the center section. The pawl may be installed in a first position or in a second, mirrored position.
