Thorough cleaning yes, remove reverse and chain yes, seals lube and bushing care yes...

The 800 is pretty much a 700 with diff and axles added..

Your best bet would be a heavy weight 90+ gear lube or the "OO" grease if you can find it...

If your "race prepping" it, you don't need reverse, unless this is for an IMOW, Stock or otherwise limited class...

You remove the reverse chain and gears as a "precautionary" measure...and to reduce drag, wear and heat buildup...

If the chain breaks at speed it will bind up and destroy your tranny/transaxle...

I was wondering if anyone vents their transmissions?I build 4wheelers for Polaris and notice all the gearboxes are vented to prevent air/oil expansion as they heat up and was wondering in the same thing would help keep gear oil from leakin at the seals on a racing mower tranny?

George, is the 700-023 a 4 or 5 speed?, and will it come with a fine-36spline output shaft?

That's a smoking deal on a new tranny.  The steel gears are over $100 themselves.  (or atleast that's what I had to pay for them!)

No trade ins we got a sweet deal on these and so my boss is relaying that to the racers as long as the supply lasts. Al sorry no trade ins. Joey yes its a 5 speed. Its a lower geared tranny meaning most 5's third is race gear (25/25). The 700-023 4th is race gear 25/25. And yes they are the fine spline. BUT listen guys do not trhow those 9 thick spline shafts away. We are making a hub with interchangeable gears for that shaft and the 32 fine spline. We also have a billet 4" and 5" pulley for the 5/8 shafts found on the 700 series and most transaxles.
