TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE AND BENCH TEST PROCEDURE
1. Remove the transmission from the lawn mower.

Transmission fluid will darken during use and may appear
to contain fine metallic particles or residue. However, dark
gray oil with metallic residue is considered normal and
does not indicate excessive wear or an internal failure.

the control arm and use a wrench to rotate the pump shaft
