About Dodge Colt
The Dodge Colt was a small car manufactured by the brand between 1971 and 1994. The body styles included 2-door coupe, 2-door hardtop coupe, 4-door sedan and 5-door station wagon. It was based on a traditional one-piece body with a rear-wheel drive, accompanied by McPherson springs at the front and a flexible axle at the rear. The four-speed manual was offered as standard and the three-speed automatic was available as optional. Originally performed in 100 hp, the engine was reduced to 83 hp in 1972 by changing the power measurement from gross to net to comply with SAE. In 1973, the Dodge Colt GT coupe was given new parts including rally bumpers, track wheels and a center console.
As for the transmission, four-speed manual and three-speed automatics were given for choice. The original Borg-Warner automatic transmission was replaced by the Torqueflite automatic one. A five-speed manual transmission version was introduced in 1977. Also, a smaller motor with a "quiet shaft" was offered as standard. The way the balance shaft system work is that two shafts with the same weight rotate in opposite directions at twice the engine speed. The shafts are arranged in producing the centrifugal forces, and the weights are balanced by the second-order vertical forces of the motor. This leads to the equal output in turn.

The body structures of the Dodge Colt station wagon and hatchback are the same. The rear seats of the estate and the hatchback can be folded. For both versions, the van roof usually extends to the rear, covering the entire height of the cargo area. The hatchback sometimes features a shorter rear section and smaller side windows.

As for the gearbox, three manual types and one automatic were offered for choice, including a four-speed KM110 and a 'Twin Stick' version using a two-speed automatic transmission with eight front and two reverse gears. Other Dodge Colt parts included a five-speed KM119 and a three-speed TorqueFlite. As for the working method of the Dodge Colt, since the gearbox was equipped under the engine, a clutch became necessary. However, this could not be achieved easily due to the opposite directions that the gearboxes were rotating, leading to an additional return shaft.
