Now that the transmission was up on a stand, I decided to take a break from gutting the central housing, and start taking apart the geartrain.
My rebuild manual has a sense of humor here:
Go ahead. We dare you. Just try to get this little jewel out without the special pliers. No fair drilling holes or bashing things with a hammer until they give up. Even ‘Special Magic Words’ have no effect here. Had enough? Order Miller Special Tool #6051 from Miller Special Tools
And with that, the gears are out! Back to the center section.
To be continued... 41TE Teardown, Pt. IV

I think the only option other than Special Tool 6051 *might* be double-scissor needlenose pliers, which are *almost* as useless in general and would do a worse job in specific.

Because of one of these transmissions shitting its fluid all over my mother in laws garage I bought her a new (used) car. She now has a Nissan Rouge Select, it does exactly what she needs it to do and is cheap to own. So glad to see the T&C gone.

I briefly considered buying a cheap pair from Harbor Freight, one that I wouldn’t mind grinding down the tips just for that purpose. But I chickened out, fearing that a tip might break off in the snap-ring.
