Good thought.  I had to change belts a couple of years ago.  I seem to 
remember I had to unbolt either the transaxle or motor to do it, maybe 
both.  
I'll bet that somebody in GE's engineering department had a gleam in his 
eye 
the day he made that drawing.  ;-)

But it's too dang cold out to be crawling around under an ET if I don't 
have to.  
The easy short-term answer to transaxle popping out of D1 : don't use D1.  
Plow down the driveway in low, zoom back up the driveway in D2.
