DISASSEMBLY
Step 1: Transmission Coupling Removal
1. Follow the TRANSMISSION COUPLING REPLACEMENT
(Disassembly) INSTRUCTIONS.
Step 2: Clutch Removal
2. Once the transmission coupling has been removed, further
breakdown of the power train can be done.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic hose to the clutch at the solenoid.
Use a male cap to block the hose. ( NOTE: NOT
SUFFICIENTY BLOCKING THE HOSE COULD RESULT IN A
LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID).
4. Remove six (6) of the eight (8) bolts attaching the bell
housing to the engine. Leave one (1) bolt at the top of the bell
housing and one (1) at the bottom. Remove transmission
support assembly.
5. Position the crane directly above the transmission. Wrap a
nylon strap around the transmission so it is between the oil
drain plug and the transmission spacer plate. Carefully raise
the crane just enough to take the weight off the remaining two
(2) bolts. Remove the last two (2) bolts.
6. Remove the bell housing inspection plate. Firmly hold the
clutch on the shaft while the transmission is separated from
the engine.
7. Carefully trolley the transmission out of the machine on the
operator’s side. ( NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE
HYDRAULIC LINES AND MACHINE COMOPONENTS STILL IN
PLACE).
8. Place the transmission on a solid surface.

the clutch. ( DO NOT ALLOW HYDRAULIC FLUID TO COME IN
