Hi all, I am new to this forum. Normally i only read in here to get the info for my quads. My English is not 100%. I am from Holland and me and my son drive a Renegade. Mine is a 1000 and my son has a 800 from 2007. We bought his renegade a few months ago. Until now he is a bit unlucky with it. Many small problems we had to fix. And just when you think, now we can go and drive, something else is wrong. The problem we have now is that the gearbox is leaking after driving. The next morning there is oil under the quad, dripping down. When good cleaning and cool down the leaking is minimal. I also checked the vent and it looks ok. I can get some air through it by blowing. (I hope this word is correct 🙂 ). Second, the drive-shaft has a lot of play, just there were the rubber booth is. So I have two questions if possible.
1. The rear drive shaft has play in the splines. If i take the two parts in my hand and pull the shaft in the length of the mounting position, the splines have a lot of play. Lets say 3 to 4 mm up and down ( or left and right 🙂 ). So it’s not axial play. While driving and you accelerate good, you sometimes hear a "clunck". When driving smooth, no problem. I think this sound could be the shaft. The diff feels good, no play at all. Is it normal to have this play?
2. Most important, how can I get the gearbox out? It’s leaking at the bottom, between the housing, where the gasket should be. I stripped the whole quad. Loosened the rr diff and took out the shaft. Disassembled the CVT. Removed the CVT cover. But if you look at the gearbox fixing bolts, there is no play/room to move the gearbox rearwards, out of the engine and frame (arrows picture). I was reading that you should move the block forward? I also saw that there was somebody who could do it without moving the engine block. Who can help us with the wright steps?
