AX-15 transmission case does not separate
I am trying to disassemble a 2WD AX-15 to rebuild it, but have ran into
a problem where I cannot separate the transmission housing from the
intermediate plate. When I did this on another tranny, the plate came
off just fine after a little prying and some hits from a deadblow
hammer. With this one, though, it separates only a few millimeters and
then stops hard. The only thing I can think of is maybe the output
shaft is somehow out of kilter, and preventing the case from moving?
Of course, I am not an expert and the problem is likely something
completely different. I wanted to hear if anyone else out there ran
into a similar problem? Any info is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Re: AX-15 transmission case does not separate
I can see a couple of shift interlocks, that may be access from the
outside of a two wheel housing, that are strange to me having never
taken apart a Japanese transmission, and of course the input snap ring:

Re: AX-15 transmission case does not separate
Thanks Bill, that scan is exactly the shop manual I've been following.
I have followed all steps faithfully, and have reached a dead stop at
figure 35, page 10 of 37. I agree that there are some odd things going
on, but maybe they just seem strange to me since until today I have
also not had a transmission apart. What it is hanging up on is a
mystery to me, and not being able to see inside the case makes it
doubly frustrating.
As a side note, if I ever do get this case off, it looks like I'll need
a good snap ring tool. The one at Autozone is puny, does anyone out
there know a good place to get something a little beefier for this job?
Thanks again for the help.

Re: AX-15 transmission case does not separate
I think there is a snap ring on the tailshaft forward of the final tail
housing.
