Re: Transmission seized

Hi Mr48, I followed that link to my model year. Nice instructions !
I see the shaft has rotated the flat out of alignment when the bearings seized. I also noticed some blue, nearly molten metal at one of the lube holes through the counter gear right near the hot, dry section. I imagine the outer race is a mess. Might just need a bigger hammer ? Or ????? Scrap the gear and shaft, cutting torch it out ? Would save the case and other stuff.
Thanks again !
