Initial inspection of A500

Pry between the drums where the lugs lock together. Then push that front drum rearward. Direct drum wobble is what it's all about. You sure are doing a lot of work on this thing, and still leaving the pump and drums in. The whole idea of running it without an internal inspection at this point is just mind boggling to me.

Having never opened a transmission I have no relative experience
To draw from to know what I am getting into. Now that it is apart it is not so scary. The Transgo shift kit says it can be installed in the vehicle but that would be a major pain in the butt. This level of disassembly is required for the shift TGOF-HD3 kit. This is more involved than I was expecting but managable as long since I have a very clean place to work to lay out the parts and I’m not rushed. So far there in nothing in the form of debris that is scary.

Can you give me a better understanding of drum wobble. I think your referring to the area in picture #2. The drum is is tight and the teeth are always engaged
