I looked at the groove in shaft where snap ring goes worn . Tried flipping snap ring over and tried new snap ring, it still can apart. I was really luckily I was close to home cause it was forced un against the transaxle and the short distance it became hot as firecracker. Have photos, but can’t figure out how to post without using hppt//.
