I bought a 01 scrambler 500 4x4 from the insurance company as a salvage ...it looked like all it needed was an axle,rim & misc pieces
all excited i put the last remaining rim on.after replacing axle etc..
i had it on jackstands (just the rear)i reved it up a little to get the back wheels spinning....got it up to speed???(probably 30-40mph) and all of the sudden BAMM!!! the wheels stopped spinning ubruptly and oil proceeded to oooze from the transmission!!!! *&#@#@**
I inspected to see where it was coming from??? and it looks like it knocked out a big chunk of transmission 1.5 inches x 1.5 right in front of the sprocket???a chunk of bearing fell out????
what happened? did it for some reason engage into 4x4?? what are my options??? can i service this replace half the case etc ,is it advanced(mechanically),or am i better off replacing tranny?
ballpark price? i am in minnesota if anyone feels extra abitious!!!
any help would be appreatiated as i am supposed to be going to a rally next weekend?
Thanks
Dave
