[QUOTE="Wild Hare, post: 188610, member: 24450"] Went over to my friends last night to help with the diagnosis.... Well it's bad, pulled the chain and small sprocket and the case is BROKEN. The case is broken all around the seal for the counter shaft, ball bearings fell out with the oil seal. I suspect that one or more of the ball bearings is rolling around in the gear box. I felt really bad for them, but I saw the kid running a chain that was so shot I could see several kinked links weeks before this happened...I explained that the chain could break and take out a case or cause other problems...the chain didn't break but I suspect the loads from it caused the bearing to fail, then it ate it's self.... :eek: So what did we learn here kids? $40 worth of chain could have saved $700 worth of repairs. ..dealer estimated it yesterday, and it could go up if gears are broken! :( I feel sick, but I told them...somehow that doesn't make me feel any better! :think Any words of wisdom about spliting cases and repairing gearboxes?
