1. S6-650 Disassembly
1. Position the transmission on the floor with the output flange pointing up. Block up the housing to allow room for the input shaft. If you are working on a seal leak, the unit can be repaired while it is still assembled. For this step, use numbers 14(output),33(input) and 20 on the Tool List.

1.1

1.2

2. Remove the four 6mm Allen bolts and remove the shifter.

3. Remove the 10mm bolt and speed sensor. Step 1.3 and 1.4 is performed on the 4x2 model only.

1.3

4. Remove the output flange nut and the output flange. Failure of the power take-off equipment will not be covered under the O.E. warranty and should not be coded as a transmission failure.
