Has any one disabled a output shaft?

[99EclipseOZRally]

Hello rebuilding my 420A transmission. I have completed the input shaft as per the service manual. How ever the service manual does not show you how to break down the output shaft. I have the snap ring off the shaft but I'm not sure if there is anything in the way and I dont want to force the gears off the shaft. If any one has insight or has a link can you please share it with me?

Thanks

well if theres a snap ring on one end the stuff comes off that way, so then its a matter of finding what you can press against and proceeding carefully

I have already removed the snap ring. Still wont come off using gear puller.

Some one has had to take these apart?

It is an interference fit design, you are going to need a 20 ton press or larger to seperate the output shaft in a fixture. It is servicable with the proper tools even though the manual and manufacturer says it is not servicable.

When reassembling you will freeze the output shaft and use a warmed up gear (~200*F) and press the 3/4 cluster back on.

It's a lot of fun. Almost as much fun as replacing transfer case input sleeves on a 3000gt that are interference fit. If you have access to a voltage inductor (mini-ductor) this will aide in the seperation process.
