Abstract: Examples in the disclosure relate to an apparatus and method for disassembling automatic transmission shaft assemblies. The apparatus may include a body portion defining multiple gear lands oriented normal to a pressing direction, each gear land having a semi-circular shape partially encompassing a central opening. The apparatus may include a moveable portion limited to movement between generally opposing positions, movement thereof reconfiguring the apparatus to enable positioning of a plurality of transmission shaft assemblies each having a unique configuration. The method may include sequentially placing each transmission shaft on the fixture, pressing the transmission shaft to remove press-fit components, and reconfiguring the fixture to enable positioning of a next shaft assembly, each shaft assembly having a unique configuration of press-fit components.
