The powertrain assembly is comprised of the motor, the gearbox, and the transfer gears. Unlike previous generations of KitchenAid AC Motor bowl-lift mixers, which had these broken in to discrete parts, this is a single unit in this model and must be replaced as such.
Note: Depending on the generation of your motor it might have a different coloration than the one in the picture (e.g. older models were all silver). Verify the motor part number before continuing.
