General Information GASOLINE VEHICLE - TRANSAXLE
_
POSITION DESCRIPTION
OPERATE
Normal Operation
The engine will not operate in neutral.
MAINTENANCE
The engine will operate in neutral (N).
The vehicle will not operate in the forward
(F) or reverse (R) position.
GOVERNOR SYSTEM
The governor system regulates vehicle ground speed. It is mounted inside the transaxle and is driven by transaxle
gears. If any of the governor linkages are removed in order to service other components, readjustment of the governor
linkage is required.
See Governor Cable Installation and Adjustment on page 21-3.
TRANSAXLE SERVICE
The transaxle is extremely durable and should require very little service under normal operating conditions. The only
service required is to maintain proper lubricant level.
See Lubrication on page 24-2. Under normal operating
conditions, adjustment to the system should not be required.
LUBRICATION
There are two oil port plugs located on the right (driven clutch) side of the transaxle (Figure 24-2, Page 24-3) . When
the vehicle is on a level surface, use the upper plug as a lubricant level indicator. Lubricant level should be even with
the bottom of level indicator hole. Use the lower plug for draining.
Oil Change – Transaxle
1. When draining transaxle oil, remove both plugs to allow the oil to drain faster.
2. Clean and reinstall the drain plug and gasket before filling the transaxle with new lubricant. Tighten drain plug to
17 lb·ft (23 N·m).
3. Use a funnel when filling the transaxle through the lubricant level indicator hole. Fill with 67.6 fl-oz (2 L) 80-90
WT. API class GL or 80-90 WT. AGMA class 5 EP gear lubricant (or until lubricant begins to run out of the
level indicator hole).
4. Install upper plug and gasket and tighten to 17 lb·ft (23 N·m).
