Take your time and look at the drawings online and print out to reference as you make repairs. I replaced all the gears since the main drive gear was sheared. Mixer works good as new.

Replaced all worn parts. Found YouTube video that helped a bunch.

7. Reassembled packing gears and trans housing with fresh food grade grease.
8. I replaced motor next. Marked where two wires from motor attach to control board.

4) Cleaned out gearbox thoroughly to remove all old grease which was contaminated with steel & brass particles from the worm gears
5) Cleaned and greased all parts & bearings (both new and old) before installation
6) New follower gear would not slide onto output shaft due to burrs around drive pin hole in the output shaft. Light filing was required to remove high spots and allow new follower gear to slide properly into place.

I found your great video on you tube on the KitchenAid mixers. It was all I needed to repair my mixer. I recommend it to anyone working on their mixer.

I got online to your sight and followed the instructions in your KitchenAid video, to see how to do this repair. It was very good, and I had my repair done quicker than I thought I would.

Used the you tube from your site and followed it step by step. Great video instruction. Thanks.

This repair is really simple.

1. Remove the label band around the head of the mixer by removing the one screw holding it in place.
2. Remove the 4 screw holding the cover for the head of the mixer in place.
3. Remove the mixer head.
4. Remove 4-5 screws holding the transmission housing in place.
5. Remove old transmission housing.
6. If the gasket is still good, apply some grease to the gasket to form a seal. Replace the gasket.
7. Replace the transmission housing.
8. Replace screws to secure transmission housing.
9. Replace the cover for the head of the mixer.
10. Replace screws to secure the cover.
11. Replace the label band and screw to secure it in place.

It is very easy repair. first you take off the cover then take off the gear box cover. After you remove snap ring the gears slide off. The hardest part is cleaning off all the old grease so you don't have slivers of metal from bad parts ruining the new parts. Just put together in reverse order. If you use the mixer a lot, and mix dough or things heavy you'll be doing this more than once. To make it last longer use on low speed, maybe #2.
