the seal rings or mating surfaces. (Fig. 5) NOTE:

Control valve removal is not necessary.

Whenever the transmission is not in neutral, the

electrical system in the starter control circuit is

automatically opened, thus preventing engine starting

when transmission is in gear. This function is performed

by the neutral switch attached to the control valve.

To remove the transmission remove the engine and

transmission as an assembly.

NOTE: If only the clutch pack is to be

removed, disconnect the lines and

linkages from the control valve and
