It sounds like you're carrier bearings seized up. Take the axle apart and put new bearings in and make sure to pack them up good with grease. But a good way to check is to take the front sprocket off and see if the axle spins. If it spins then it's good and you have another problem, if it doesn't spin you know your bearings are shot.

ok, its deffinitely my transmission. there is a filler plug about three incheds from the clutch that goes into the transmission. does anything go in there, transmission fluid or anything???? the plug takes an allan wrench and on the bottom of the quad is the drain for it. its a ds650 from 2001. great bike but the tranny's shot i think. im just trying to prevent similiar problems in the future

well if the anti freeze goes to the transmission then thats how it happened. the anti freeze hose was loose and it leaked out over a period of time so that may be why the transmission seized. does the anti freeze go to the transmission? if so then thats deffinitley how it happened. the motor though is unaffected and is perfectly fine. and yes i took off the front sprocket the other day and the back axle spun fine so thats bad, haha. i called a shop and they said to fix the tranny it would cost (at the very most) $800. so im not a happy man, haha.

No the antifreeze doesn't go in the transmission. The tranny is in the heart of the motor where all of the oil sits so there would probably be more problems if coolant caused the problem. That sucks man but you could always save a few bucks and do the work yourself. Good luck whatever you do.

i think thats actually good news. i thought the transmission was like totally ruined, it may just be as simple as a small piece broke off internally and got jammed. were gonna tear it apart or take it somewhere i guess. the oil level was fine, it wasnt the rear axle bearing, or the clutch like another guy told me. so im just guessing something internal broke from the previous owner abusing it or something or maybe it was just old, i dont know. i think it breaking actualy saved my engine cause if i would have ran it more the lack of antifreeze wouldve raped my engine right?
