....is the wrong answer!!!!On ANY FDR change on an MTX75 you MUST change the pinion/pinion shaft assy when you do an FDR change......Which again is why I say the parts list info on the transaxle site is a load of bunk and is all wrong. Anyone following it will get in deep s**t trying to do an FDR change....period!!!
The owner needs to establish if his trans has a '2 piece' or '3 Piece' output shaft assy. Only then can it be established the route he must go to effect a ratio change.This is complex s**t, if you have an early 2
piece shaft then it's even more complex and,in most
cases, beyond the ability of the average home DIY'er......I've done it a 100 times and trust me, without a shop and the know how on what parts can be mixed & matched and those that can't you have no chance of getting it right. Just my 2 cents for the masses!
