Hi Fourtraxslangin , been hanging out at ************

 

[Fourtraxslangin8s]

I’ll check it

Well, I would contact the company, maybe they can do something for you. And I did the same thing a wile back, had to get a new case, new gears and bearing and seal kit. it was an octopus brand kit. I've had no trouble, except the fluid keeps turning black, and there is really really small flakes of aluminum in the oil, I've had no noise with it tho.

Final drive. That’s the front one?
Rear i heard many people replace w 86-89 TRX350 rear ends.
I have not rebuilt mine.
What tires size you running?
What gear oil 80W140 Hypoid like BelRay?
@fishfiles knows those drive boxes pretty well; @shadetree too.

count the teeth on each the front and back both gears. Make sure your tires are the same size that will make a headache also keep them at the same air pressure. If you cannot find the fix there then you need to make sure you have the correct shimming for the gears as they will go to shit fast if they are set wrong and that is what I am expecting here.
