DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove drain plug and gasket from clutch housing using a suitable tool and drain gear oil.
2. Remove filler plug and gasket from transaxle case.
3. Remove rear housing and O-ring.
CAUTION:
Remove to axial direction of input shaft (Backward Black Arrow) because rear housing oil channel is inserted to input shaft center hole.
4. Shift control shaft shift lever (1) to the 3rd gear position.
NOTE:
- If it is not shifted to the 3rd gear position, transaxle case cannot be removed from clutch housing.
- The 3rd gear position means that control shaft select lever is fully rotated clockwise and it is returned approximately 10 degrees.

3rd gear.
c. Remove bolt (B).
d. Remove nut (C) and washer.
CAUTION:
Never use an impact wrench for removal, or otherwise each gear may be damaged.
e. Remove 5th-reverse shift fork and 5th-reverse coupling sleeve from 5th-reverse synchronizer hub.
6. Remove 5th-reverse synchronizer hub from input shaft using a suitable tool.
CAUTION:
