Good customer of mine asked me to take a look at his roller transmission, I am not road building equipment mechanic at all.

It is 1960-s ( so I’ve been told) fully mechanical, transmission two gear and with clutch packs for forward and reverse direction. The reverse clutch pack is burned, I tried to adjust it, got it to the point where it barely locks on over center and it still slips as soon as it encounters any little bump. All the name tags are not readable, has a two cylinder Wisconsin engine looks like.

I have two questions: can I replace the clutch pack without removing the transmission?
And what oil is used in those, currently customer have poured 90W gear oil in it, but after clutch started slipping.
Stupidly - I forgot to take a pictures of it.

Thinking maybe it is possible to take the end cover off and pull the splined shaft out. Maybe.

How about pictures so any old timers who may have seen/worked on them can identify what transmission is in it and possibly answer your question.
