Most common problems were the plastic roller cage cracking and armature plate becoming magnetized causing one side to lock up. Plus output shafts and bearings need to looked over also.Even if the roller cage hasn't cracked,replace it with a billet aluminum one before it does.Plenty of them on ebay and amazon. Here's a similar gear case from a Rzr.
