General Information TRANSAXLE (ED65): GASOLINE VEHICLES
WARNING
• With the switch in the MAINTENANCE position and the engine running, the vehicle may move suddenly
if the Forward/Reverse handle is shifted or accidentally bumped. To prevent this, chock the front and
rear wheels and firmly set the park brake before servicing or leaving the vehicle.
NOTE: Be sure to return the switch to the OPERATE position after servicing the vehicle, or it will not run with the
Forward/Reverse handle in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position.
Key-Start Vehicles
During normal vehicle operation, the neutral lockout switch in the OPERATE position allows the engine to start only
when the Forward/Reverse handle is in the NEUTRAL position. In addition, it allows the engine to run and increase
RPM's with the Forward/Reverse handle in any position.
With the switch in the MAINTENANCE position, it allows the technician to start, run, and increase the engine RPM's
only in the NEUTRAL position to perform certain maintenance and/or repair functions. With the switch in this position,
the engine will shut off if the Forward/Reverse handle is placed in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position.
See
preceding WARNING and NOTE.
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 23-9.
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 26-2. 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 26-2, Page 26-3) . 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.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Observe the following for transaxles equipped with a limited-slip differential:
• Uses a magnetic drain plug.
• Unlike most limited-slip differentials, this unit does not use a friction modifier added to the gear oil.
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 ft·lb (23 N·m).
