Default front diff help

Hi,
My 4x4 works in forward but not in reverse, the "slow" warning flashes on the pod so I know its not electrical. Am I looking at ripping apart the front diff??

As I said, The flashing "slow" message comes on the display, this would only happen if the unit was in 4x4 and the reverse overide button was pressed...... I know it's not electrical.
I let someone plow with it and the 4x4 been acting funny every since, at first it wouldn't dissengage now it doesn't work in reverse. IT's got the single unit in the middle, there's something to say about having the lockouts on the hubs - easier to replace.

Change the front gear case fluid with Polaris Premium Drive Hub Fluid. Check out the old fluid for contamination, water mostly, there will be a small amount of metal/alum shavings.

Hopefully that will get your AWD back in shape. Good luck.
