Gearbox Stuck - The last straw?
SeanFD:
Do I need to remove the alternator rotor before splitting the cases, or can I leave it in place?

You can leave it on but might be easier to take it off before splitting cases. It'll have to come off to replace the oil seal before reassembly.
Bryanj:
The bolt can be a bugger to undo but an impact gun will do it, if you have already changed the seal leave it alone
SeanFD:
The problem turned out to be the secondary drive gear bolt; a quick visit to my friendly mechanic with the engine solved that.
The good news: I found the problem!
The bad news; well not really bad, but definitely ANNOYING!

Happy it is something so simple; mad that it was something so simple!
Now the quest to find a replacement. Anyone?

Not familiar with the 400. Had to look it up, comes up as neutral switch. Is it spring loaded? They appear quite rare.
