UNITIZED TRANSAXLE
Governor System
The governor system regulates vehicle ground speed. It is mounted inside the unitized transaxle and is driven
by transaxle gears. If any of the governor linkages are removed in order to service other components, read-
justment of the governor linkage is required. See Governor Cable Installation and Adjustment,
Section 14, Page 14-8.
Unitized Transaxle Service
The unitized transaxle is extremely durable and should require very little service under normal operating con-
ditions. The only service required is to maintain proper lubricant level. See Periodic Lubrication Schedule,
Section 10, Page 10-5. Under normal operating conditions, adjustment to the system should not be required.

LUBRICATION

There are two oil port plugs located on the right (driven clutch) side of the unitized transaxle (Figure 16-2,
Page 16-2). When the vehicle is on a level surface, use the upper plug as a lubricant level indicator. Lubricant
level should be even with the bottom of level indicator hole. Use the lower plug for draining. When draining
lubricant, remove both plugs to allow the lubricant to drain faster. Clean and reinstall the drain plug and gasket
before filling the transaxle with new lubricant. Use a funnel when filling the transaxle through the lubricant
level indicator hole. Fill with 27 oz. (0.8 liter) 80-90 WT. API class GL or 80-90 WT. AGMA class 5 EP gear
lubricant (or until lubricant begins to run out of the level indicator hole). Tighten the plug to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m).
