Locked up motor , torque converter stuck in trans , what have I broken

I picked up a Clark GPS30 , the motor is locked up , so therefore I could not unbolt the torque converter from the flywheel, Well after lots of prying the converter is out , there is a gear on the end of it , that looks like it was driving a chain. I have seen a broken bearing cage , roller bearing , not ball bearing. and took the seal out too.What have I done , I was thinking it would be like a car , and the converter would just slide out , but no. Do I have to remove the trans to fix it ?


Thanks Daniel Cross

Yes, you will end up pulling the transaxle assy. All comes out the front. Mast off. Be aware, with mast off and trans/diff assembly out, the truck will tip back. The counterweight will need supported. I recommend getting the service manual for that machine. It breaks down the specific trans. Or at least get the parts breakdowns. That should be the HR600 Transmission.
