My machine conscience got the best of me and I decided I better go into the transaxle while I had it out installing new brake pads. I am glad I did. Some of the needle bearings were seriously dry and there was some water in the case. A couple of days of cleanup and it is ready to go back together. It uses a special bentonite base grease and all that is commonly available is lithium soap grease and the two are NOT compatible. So I ordered 3 pounds of the stuff from McMaster Carr that will be here next week.
See the attached pic, this is MOST of the parts and I can probably find the rest....Haha
Way cool parts - Momma can't put together anything so that engineering stuff amazes me!!
