Looks like ill have to remove engine from the frame. I cant seem to slide the cover off the shift lever shaft without hitting the frame.

I think i can remove drive shaft and remove engine mounting bolts. Tilt engine on the side a little and remove cover. Found a y tube video were someone removed foot peg to get some room. 

The reason I joined this group was to gain access to the service manual you mention. If i had that, i wouldnt be asking these questions. I'm an experienced mechanic, just a new member. Thanks

I have a 1988 bayou 220 with a oil leak where the drive shaft connects to the engine at the wires comming out of the case. Can i fix this without removing the engine? Whats this gear housings called ? I'll need a gasket and looks like shifter seal at least.  Any help would be appreciated.
