First, I want to apologize for bombarding the forum with questions, but this site is just a great way to get honest answers.

I got 2 Dingo 150's for my family for Christmas. After about 2 hours on the first rides, the reverse gearbox on one cracked wide open from the top.

We heard a loud grind and in looking over everything we noticed we could see the gears inside the gearbox from the top along with the heavy smell of fluids.

My assumption is that it must have had a hairline crack in the housing from the get go and just finally let loose.

My wife ran the Dingo a bit and some of the broken housing fell into the gears and did a bit of grinding.

My question is, the company I purchased from is sending me a new gearbox (so they said). Last night I was able to get my hands on a service manual thanks to the great people on this site and in reading it looks like more than I want to tackle, or at least from what I can see.

I assumed that I could just remove a few bolts and remove the damaged unit and replace with the new one.

Via the manual it looks as if I have to remove the "insides" on the gearbox and then reassemble.

Am I asking for trouble? Should I find a service shop to do the install? I am no mechanic, but can follow directions as long as I take my time.

But this does look a bit over my head the way I see it in the manual.

Does Kazuma in anyway take care of this through other dealers even though I bought elsewhere?

Again, thanks for any help and suggestions.

 

if the dingo is anything like the Falcon 150 (i'm not sure :/) than its no problem taking the gears out.

once you get the cover plate off there will be a large shift fork, a pin through the bottom of the fork, and i think 4 gears. everything slides right out. slide the geared shaft and 2 connected gears out (if they didn't come out with the cover plate) then the pin in the fork. next move the fork down to remove the gear in the fork. now the fork should slide off the shaft that connects to the shifter.

thats if its like the falcon 150 transmission ??? going off the top of my head

 

kazuma just like the rest of the chinese atv's only cover parts, not labor.

 

Thats what I have found out. I am going to try and tackle this myself first.

I have no problem paying someone, the issue is my place in the mountains is quite remote and the nearest repair shop is over an hour away.

Thanks
