Unlike the 722.1 you need really deep clamps to press the covers in so you can remove the cir-clip ring wires (LINK). I don't have clamps that are deep enough so I removed the valve body.





You need to remove all of the bolts that you see. Warning – there are no other bolts or screws holding the layers of the valve body together – it is not like the 722.1 valve body that can be removed in one safe unit. EDIT => It isn't as bad as I thought there are two screws on the underside of the valve body that will stop most of the parts from flying all over the place. You can loose a piece though if you are not careful.











With the whole of the valve body removed you can look through to what seems to be a weak point with these transmissions – the governor drive shaft.





The shaft on this transmission is almost dead.
