<< B >> Transaxle Case Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Remove all sixteen bolts securing the transaxle case to the clutch housing.
Use snap ring pliers to expand the indicated snap ring. The snap ring will release the grooved ball bearing, and the output shaft assembly will fall under its own weight.
CAUTION: Do not use a scraper or chisel to remove the transaxle case.
Remove the transaxle case from the clutch housing by gently prying on opposite sides at the same time.
