Transmission problems

[POLARIS13]

On my 07 700 efi, the spring pin started to fall out and made a grove in the tranny case....this caused the oil to leak out and water to get in and ruin all the bearings.

We took the case to a metal shop and had them aluminum weld it and bought all new bearings and seals to rebuild it.

Has anybody else had this problem!????

WOW!

Oh crap.

You never heard it grinding down the case?

[POLARIS13]

yea...wasnt good. but nope, never heard a thing untill it started to whine/scream and wouldnt shift....so we started looking and it wasnt good!

[lost cause]

Yes this is a known issue with the role pins backing out and causing this issue. I take the role pins out and replace with grade 8 bolts and loctite.
