KM175 Series
1 - 2 BIND UP, SPRAG ROTATION
This condition may be caused by a sprag being installed backward. Many parts suppliers use the 700-R4 forward sprag to service the KM 175 series transaxle. Because of this, using the factory illustration for sprag installation will result in improper rotation of the sprag (figure 1).
Always use sprag rotation as an indication of proper sprag assembly.
With the support, sprag and planetary assembly on the bench, the planetary must free-wheel counter clockwise (figure 2).
