STEP #1: If vehicle is on the ground, secure so it will not roll, (Preferably, vehicle should
have all four wheels off the ground.) Place vehicle shift selector in park range.
Remove throttle pressure linkage and gear selector linkage located on the driver’s
side of the vehicle. Disconnect only at the shaft coming out of the transmission
case. You will note the two linkage levers on the shaft are fastened by a bolt in
each case. Loosen these bolts completely. After loosening bolts, carefully pry
levers upward with a screwdriver. The top throttle pressure lever is no longer
needed.
STEP #2: Remove all pan bolts but two on one end. This way you will be able to drain the
transmission without getting soaked with oil. These two bolts can be gradually
loosened off after most of the oil has been drained.
