Transmission repair questions

[sanddan52]

Nubie here.
I want to get the gears in the trans back cut and my question is, can I remove the trans without taking the engine completely apart?
if so, what is involved in this?

The motor is in a sandcar so removing it should be easy, I just don't want to take the motor completely apart as it runs great.
thanks for the help.

nope, gotta split the cases....you don;t have to do anything to the top end, but you have to remove the lower case to get to the trans.
