Default the Shaft that holds the govenor Fell in!

I was changing out the throttle cables and decided to clean some of the surface rust of the governor parts. I did not realize that the shaft the governor sits on was not fixed....so....when i went to put it back together, the shaft droped into and fell down into the trans axle case.

Now i have to drop the how transaxle, take it apart and find that shaft...

Any tips, pointers, pictures, diagrams or ANYTHING that will help me get this done. It is a 2009 Drive.

Will i need to replace any parts on the disassemble and reassemble?

Please help.

Thanks.

Its not supposed to just fall into the transaxle. The transaxles gurus will chime in soon.

Yea, I was going to say that sounds a bit odd. But if that's normal, I'll have to remember that if I ever have a need to remove the governor arms.

i really didn't expect that to happen. I am really bummed. Something so simple has no turned complicated.

I hope someone can chime in and tell me if i will need anything special to reassemble the transmission after i open it up. gasket or seal or something? I know that on some car and boats, certain parts are 1 time use.

Or if i will need any special tools to take it apart.

Can you still see the shaft in the hole, or did it completely drop inside? If you can still see it you might have a chance of retrieving it, with a dab of super glue on the end of a thin rod. It might be just enough to pull it back out, and save you the hassle of tearing everything apart.

I don't see it at all...the hole is pretty small.

Someone that has installed high speed gears should know about the transaxle. has this maybe happed to anyone trying to install a Speed Spring?

I need some wisdom before I tackle this.

thanks.

you should really consider letting a pro handle this. I have done this lots of times, but this may be a job for a pro. The www.yamahagolfcar.com site has a parts breakdown, study it before considering this job yourself. Please dont be mad if this seems daunting or risky for the DIYer, It Is! This job is a little big for typing, but. The transaxle has to be taken all the way out. And DO NOT DRIVE IT, EVEN PUSHING IT IN NEUTRAL COULD BE DANGEROUS. Remove throttle cable bracket. The transaxle will stand on-end (a wheel on the end on the ground makes a good stand (yamaha manual advises doing this standing up in a jig attached to your bench). Plug the vent tube. You can do this without draining the axle oil if you want to reuse it. Bigger half with fins points down. Clutch can stay in place. Remove all 1/2" bolts and use a prybar to break silicone. Pull top half off, while manuvering it to allow the input shaft to come with top half, one "end gear" may stay in top half too). If end gear stays in bottom half, look for shim that may be present behind bearing. Look for and reinsert governor fork with "forks" pointing up. Dont remove the shaft with the forward and reverse gears, this will add un needed complication. At this point, the reassembly is the reverse of removal, BUT you will need a friend to get the shift shaft, end gear, and shift fork back in their locations. Having never done this before, it will seem like something is wrong, but consider that you are trying to align 2 bearings and a shift shaft plus a shift fork all at the same time (it is tricky). If the shifter input will spin, than you missed the shift fork. You should really consider letting a pro handle this, i keep saying this because it is alot trickier than an easy electric axle. Study up, if you have more questions, i will try to help in a reasonable amount of time.

Also, for what you are in for, no special tools really needed, no "one-time use parts" except the silicone in between the two halfs, no gasket. In the whole axle (but not for your task), the most specialized tools are a shop press (a few bearings), impact allen sockets (brakes and ring gear), and snap ring pliers (various places).

I can't thank you enough for your advice. I truly appreciate it.

I will have to do this myself for many reasons the main 2 being $$ and the wife.

Some follow up questions.

The side that goes down, is the short fat side (Passenger side) of the tranny...correct?

The parts diagram does not show the governor shaft, but i know it exists.

Can you please tell me , maybe by part number from the diagram which are the tricky ones that i need to be sure to line up.

What type of silicone do i need to reseal when done?

I know i have more questions, but thats what i have so far. I plan to tackle this, this weekend.
