See COMPONENT DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY
for exploded views of all internal components. For thrust washer, thrust bearing and seal locations, refer to appropriate illustration. See Figure
or Figure

- Remove thrust washers from sprockets. Grasp drive link chain above drive sprocket and pull toward transaxle case. Measure drive link chain-to-case clearance. If clearance is less than .50" (12.7 mm), replace drive link chain.
- Mark position of drive link chain for reassembly reference. Noise may occur if chain is not installed in same direction as removed. Pry up driven sprocket. If necessary, tap on end of turbine shaft using plastic hammer. Remove turbine shaft and drive sprocket, driven sprocket and drive link chain together as an assembly. See Fig 1 .
- Remove drive sprocket and driven sprocket supports from transaxle case. See Fig 2 . Ensure scavenge tube seal remains in support. If not, check support for damage. Remove input speed sensor and wiring harness.
