In removing the transmission from the chassis, first remove the speedometer cable from the torque ball retainer and the hand brake lever from the frame. Remove the cap screws holding the ball collar and slip the ball and the collar back on the propeller shaft.
Remove the nuts from the universal joint ring and split the universal joint. Remove the two top transmission to flywheel housing cap screws and insert the two transmission guide pins in these holes. Remove the flywheel underpan and remove the two lower transmission to flywheel housing cap screws.
Remove the bolts holding the rear of trans-mission to the frame. Remove the nuts holding the cross member to the universal joint ball retainer and remove this part.
Slide the transmission straight back on the guide pins until the main drive gear shaft is free of the splines in the clutch disc. The use of the two guide pins during this operation will support the transmission and prevent damage to the clutch disc through springing. Remove the transmission.
