The die-cast aluminum transmission housing

has four studs pressed into its upper region.

The studs provide mounting for the two crank

and two cluster gears. The top cover is

threaded into the lower housing. A sealant is

used on the threads as a gasket material. A
steel drive tube with a splined end is pressed
into the bottom of the transmission housing.

A sleeve bearing is installed in the lower I. D.

of the drive tube. Another bearing is pressed
into the lower housing above the drive tube.

These bearings provide a path for the drive

shaft to ride in. An oil seal is installed in the
bottom of the drive tube. The oil seal can be
replaced as a separate part.

Oil Seal Replacement

The oil seal is located in the spline end of the

drive tube. The seal can be replaced without
removing or disassembling the transmission,
as outlined below:

1. Disconnect power to the unit.

2. Remove the brake assembly to access the

oil seal (Figure 7-4).

Use tool part number 2000021. Remove

the old seal from the lower housing
(Figure7-7a thru 7-7c).
