Hi there,
I'm new to this forum so hope I am posting in the right area :confused:
I have found alot of helful; info on this forum and just wondering if anyone knows of a transmission rebuild kit for these. Bearings, etc.
My google search didnt reveal much on this!
I bought three gator xuv 550s for 2k(yes it was a steal of a deal!)...one was running but popped out of gear in high/low. The other two go together to make one. I have the engine running on the 2nd one now. So out of the three transmissions one seemed to be fine and I swapped it into the "most together" of the gators last night. The other two transmissions need to make "one good one" for gator number two. I tore into one and found that a bearing had completely destructed. On that trans, I also noticed a hole in the 4wd actuator and a couple teeth of that gear so I am guessing the guy hit something that broke that, then lost all the oil and put the bearing out. Anyway...the other transmission(the one that popped out of gear) I have split and see metal shavings but haven't been able to directly locate a problem yet.
I am figuring that if I have them apart and am going to put it back together it would be best to replace bearings, etc. But i am hoping someone will have some suggestions and technical info on these.
Thanks in advance,
gator
