    yes, they come apart very easily AFTER you put a little heat to them, simply take a torch and wave it all around the trans but be carefull around the seals, if it feels just slightly warm to the touch she should be good to go

      so do the gears come apart when it splits and do i have to take the shifter apart i need to replace one seal on the right side if you were in the machine looking at it and is is normal for the gears to come out with the cover or are they supposed to stay in the large side of the case thanks agian eight wheeler it seems you really know your stuff as i am new to this world of argos and dont have the knowledge yet thanks agian

        No problem Tony we are here to help, first off dont be afraid of anything you pull out of the trans unless its pieces of broken gears lol so yes most of the gears do come out when you split it, the main thing you have to worry about is the idler shaft for the reverse gear, it floats around and can be a pain upon reassembly. a nice tool i found to help out with the trans is an air chisel with a wide open face bit with a piece of rubber on the front of it, you can justuse the air chisel to nicely push bearings/shafts out of the casings but must be nice to them
