top cover on sm465

[protechk5]

How do you get the top cover off the sm465, alls i want to do is replace the gasket. Look like the shift rails are connected to it.

it is, just unbilt it and message it. and it will come up. the shift forks come up with it.

if i remeber right you need to put it in reverse to remove it or halfway into reverse

ok thanks guys. does it go back on pretty easy?

Shift halfway into reverse. Don't just yank it up and out of there...lift slowly and note which forks drop into which collar. It's a bit finicky to get the one shift collar lined back up on re-assembly...

You might have to mess with the reverse idler gear to get the top back on, it likes to slide around, but to get the top back on it must be 1/2 way engaged as well. It can be a frustrating process the first time you pull the cover. Good luck
