Can Am Maverick X3 Stripped Final Drive Gear | Worn Axle Splines | Transmission Rebuild
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Welcome back, on this video we pull Sheris Transmission from her Can Am Maverick X3, split the case and replace the worn final drive gear. I found out after doing some research that this is a common problem with the X3 platform once you get to around 4-6000 miles. so pull and clean your axles shafts regularly so this doesn't happen to you, but if it does I hope this video helps you.

Great video. Glad you got it running again.
Thank you for posting the DIY.
Thank you for watching. Hopefully this helps someone out in the future. There’s not much on the internet for this problem.
Helped me so much
More than anything I see I really need to go organize my garage. :)
Hahaha, there’s a place for everything. 🤣
Great video! My only thought would be to replace the bearings while I was in there. I guess dependent on machine mileage. Overall these videos are perfect to give the rest of us a good idea what to expect because eventually its going to happen to us as well.
Your right, those were my thoughts as well, everything looked really good so we chose to leave it, hopefully it doesn’t come back to bite us. Time will tell haha.
Those bearings aren’t cheap. Good visual inspection is sufficient.
Congrats to yours.
You named yet as the "Gear-King" 👍👑
Very good work, I told and show my respect to you.
Best regards from germany.
🤘🏻💯 haha. thank you
just stripped my 2nd axle and checked mine and its worn. Looks pretty straight forward by the video and dont have to take all the other gears out which is a plus lol
I also had this happen. I now pull the axles and grease them once a year!
Unfortunate for us this happened our first year of owning them, so we pull them every other month or so now to grease them. It happened right at 4000 miles. We put a lot of miles on haha.
I know this is a old video, but I’m wanting to do a gear reduction on my defender and ram across this video, man Jesse you are brave to crack that thing open, I have plenty of mechanical skills but that’s going over and beyond 👍
Great video! Hi from all of us at Dj's Russell city store!
Great video, I have a couple buddies that have had to do this same thing. In the owners manual it’s says at about so many miles to remove the axles and grease those splines area to make it last longer. Wether that gets you mite life out of it or not I don’t know. I have about 2500 miles on mine and I’m thinking I’m going to pull my axles and do this shortly to see if it will last several more miles. Everyone says around 4000-5000 miles this happens. This is a very helpful video. Great job!!!!
Thank you, ya we learned the hard way, we will pull them out and clean/grease them every once in a while now knowing what the outcome will be. We’re pushing 4700 miles now.
@@TheCanAmCrew that’s the norm from what my buddies have experienced around those miles. You guys done a great job on the video for sure and some great mechanical skills too.
I agree! This was a awesome video and it helped me out a lot. Same thing just happened to me and my bike only has 1600 miles on it. I will definetly be pulling axles and cleaning and greasing them from now on!
Very Nice work and helpful video. Thought it would be more complicated tham that. Now I know I can tackle it if needed. Thanks for the DYI, Great Video!!!!!
Thank you, it looks scary than it is haha, my axles are getting sloppy now but is still under warranty so I’ll probably just have them do mine when they go. Warranty will cover it.
I may get the final gear cryogenic hardened if I have to do this. It’s a lot easier to replace the axle then the final drive. Wonder if that would be beneficial? Just a thought.
You got a good point there. I’ve heard good things about it but never looked into it much.
Hey bud I've been watching your videos commented on a few as always another great video. It sucks that you broke but on the bright side you did break on the last day HMT trip and you were able to ride it out so that's a plus plus. The riding vids are great but showing the other side of the game is a really helpful.
Mad props to your wife. That's awesome that she was out there helping you.
Thank you. We appreciate it. It could have been worse so I’m thankful for that, and yes! she’s a great help in the garage, a lot of times she does most of the maintenance herself.
@@TheCanAmCrew wow shes a rare find then lol
Great job !!! Very helpful for everyone else with the same sort of issue. I never doubted you.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video also cool your lady gives you a hand... Ride on!
Thank you for watching. 💯🤘🏻
Getting ready to tear mine apart tomorrow for this same reason. Wish me luck, the video was great and hopefully we can make it work.🤞
If you need anything just shoot me a message. I’m glad the video was able to help.
my cousins and my x3 both have done this, both around 3k miles. stripped an axle and my cousin got 1500 more miles on just new axles before the final drive gear stripped the rest of the way out and they replaced it. I'm on my round about 1500 mile borrowed time haha gonna order the gear and have it for a winter down time replacement.
How much was fixing the gear ?
Retail prices are 350.00 for the gear, 250.00 per axle. If you do it yourself labor is free. If you have a shop probably 1000-1500 in labor.
like the @thecanamcrew said its 350 for the gear sometimes cheaper on partzilla depends on the time but if a shop does it again it would be 1000-1500 dollar job bit mine cost me 700 bc the shop was already doing a long block motor swap for me so they knocked some off the price. @@Ulises.ba7
id recommend you pull your axles out every 500-1000 miles and put a little grease on the splines bit it just depends on the riding you do. if your machine is in muddy water or straight mud a lot it just an= "maintenance" you will have to deal with every 3k miles or so unfortunately. @@Ulises.ba7
Nice job! I’d be nervous going that deep
It was a little intimidating at first but all worked out in the end. Haha
Very helpful video. Great work
Thank you 🙏🏻
Coming from the Polaris side, I am impressed on the size of the pinion set driving the front axel!! Great video guys!! BTW, I have a new MAX Turbo RR.... And I guess you are illustrating that we need to remove the axels and clean every so often!!!
Welcome to the dark side haha, I bet that max is a handful in tight wooded trails. I’ve never gotten to ride with one yet to see now they handle. And yes if you ride mud or water or both then I would pull and clean the splines once a year or so. Thanks for watching.🤘🏻
@@TheCanAmCrew Will let you know, have not had it long... We like to ride Turkey Bay and some local trails. It is very big compared to what we came from!!
great vid i just took my gear box out (today) with it thanks
Awesome man. Thanks for watching, I’m glad it was able to help.
@@TheCanAmCrew did you leave you
r shift rod in the top case or move it to the bottom case
We left it in and marked it so we new the orientation.
Excellent How-To Video Brother! Blew the pass side axle also on my '17 XDS last year...luckily the primary drive gear was ok. I'm thinking they're probably the 1st to go. Anyhoo - Keep up the great work! 👍
Thank you, ya. I would of rather broke an axle instead but it is what it is. It’s all in good fun. 🤘🏻
Awesome video very educational i enjoy watching 👍🏻
Thank you. 💯
Man your guys are amazing in your videos! So detailed. Thank you so much! This video did help incase I have to take out my gear box. My issue is I have a clunk when giving it gas either in reverse or forward. Plus it takes a second to kick into gear. It Golts. Its not smooth as when your wife took off into at the end. Put it in the air, turn the tires forward and backwards and in clucks. I have no idea what it is. Going to start digging into it.
Check your secondary rollers.
@@TheCanAmCrew I will let you know.
Thanks for sharing greetings from Honduras 🇭🇳
Thank you for watching 🤘🏻💯
Man I wish I was mechanically inclined....... and had the garage space....... but good work
Great job
Thank you. Much appreciated.
🏆🏆🏆😊🙏
Thank you for sharing
Damn, I think this happen to mine today on the Alpine Loop in Lake City 😢
That’s a bummer. You can get by for a while just by putting a brand new axle in. But I would definitely set aside some time to replace the gear or else it’ll leave you stranded.
Nice! But am I the only one that washes my machines before working on them? Can't stand all the dirt falling into a "sterile" case...
Half the fun is working on them!
I don't need no stinking manual!!! hahahaha
I do like that the Can Am trans case does split down the middle (exposing ALL bearings) unlike the RZR 1000 trans which is an off center split. Like others have suggested, replacing those chinese bearings (I presume) with the Japanese version would have been a good move.
I wonder why the teeth on that final gear slipped?? If this really is a common issue, I would consider treating that final gear with something like CryoHeat or similar hardening process. I'd rather spin the axle than have to go through that again....
Good job!! I bet that is nearly a $2k job to have a dealer make those repairs....it pays to be a ble to wrench on your own stuff.
This is a fairly common problem. What happens is the Oring on the axles fail letting water and mud inside the trans gear. The axles being a lesser metal than the gear starts to wear and eventually wears to a point where a good hit will spin the axle inside the gear rounding both teeth on the axle and gear itself. Some routine maintenance of pulling the axles and adding grease every once In awhile will prevent this. Mine has 7500 miles now and has yet to fail.
Nice video, two weeks ago I lost low gear and reverse, not sure what gave out have look into it.
Thank you, hopefully you can get that figured out. I’ve heard broken or bent shift fork can cause that so hopefully that’s the case because that’s a pretty simple fix once you get the case split.
Loved the content! Loving your channel! Thanks for sharing
Thanks man. Appreciate it 💯
Good vid!. well done
Thank you 💯
What was the torque specs on all the gear box bolts to reassemble? Ur video was awsome to thx
Thanks. I believe the bolts are 17-20 ftlbs but I’d have to double check that and I’m not around my manual.
Dude awesome video, labor hours and everything lol got a new sub 👍
Thank you, we appreciate that.
any special attention needed to the shift mechanism when reassembling?
Yes. There is a half moon shaped gear that needs to stay lined up the way you took it out or else you won’t have park it low.
Check out our Windrock carnage video from 2022. We did another gear change there and covered it a little more
My buggy won’t move in high or low gear, just revving out. Can you show House to replace the shift fork in the transmission?
We don’t have a transmission out to be able to show that but in our video you can see the shift forms. You just pull it off and replace with a new one. No special tools required
My only problem is my shift linkage didn't align back up, and now doesn't shift to low range even by hand without the shifter...does the lever only go on a certain way??
Not wanting to take all apart again 😮
@@tonykasch9665 there is a plate on the inside that is a half moon shaped gear. It needs to be aligned.
At 18:05, the gear that has a nut holding it down - how did you hold the gear from moving while you loosened the 30mm nut?
I just used an impact and it came right off. You could also live on the edge and put a screw driver through it to the case. We have also done that on one we did a few months ago
So did you not have to align the gear box up with engine? Read you should measure and center. Thanks for the video it does help👍
No we didn’t, with the bolts and alignment Pins it’s a pretty small tolerance.
Great video as usual! Was there any additional noises leading up to this? I have had 2 occurances of a grinding sound on a hard take off, like not being in gear all the way, and getting worried about a drive issue.
Thank you, unfortunately there were zero indications this was happening other than maybe a little slop in the axle at the gearbox. But we never thought to check it before this happened.
I just had the samething happen to my 2017 X3. Absolutely ZERO indication the splines were going to strip out. I found however, regular maintenance of the rear axles must occur every 500 to 1000 miles. That would include removing both rear axles, clean the splines on the axles and final drive gear, grease and replace. If you don't do this, failure will occur around 2500 miles.
I've read a ton on maintenance on these things and never heard or watched anything on this type of failure. If your final drive gear inside the gearbox is good, it's a relatively inexpensive fix depending on what type of axles you buy.
I bought 2 axles from east lake axles, and final drive gear from partzilla. $500 repair. Did the work myself..... of course with the help of Jesse and Sherri in this video.
Thank you guys for posting this video. Saved me a ton of time and head scratching.
Well I just hit 3900 miles the other day. I think checking the rear axles is a good idea since I’m going to grease the bearings
Ya, good idea. I would Pull the axles and clean the splines, grease them, then slide them back together. If we would have cleaned and greased the splines I think we would have been ok.
If the splines look good on both axles should I be ok to reuse them?
@@therowdyboysnetwork2827 oh ya. I think You’ll be fine.
I'm little behind on this video. But wow, that was a real break down. Great video. At this point, how many miles was on sheri's machine when this happen? Are u in the mechanical world? Or have u been learning as u go with sxs?
She had 4000 miles when this happened. She’s at 6900 now with no more issues. I grew up working on stuff like this so that definitely helps me out.
I'm sorry to be a pain, but you stated that you replace the rubber o-ring on the 4x4 actuator box. Do you remember or could you tell what the part number was? I'm not seeing it in any diagrams. Thank you!
I have an Oring kit from habor freight. I just used one that fit.
@@TheCanAmCrew awesome thank you!
Recently came across this same issue
Though it was axel and free spun :( I’m so nervous doing this on mine
lol
I dont have a primary so it would be a pain in @ss
If you have any questions along the way just let us know. We also have a more recent video of removing the trans and fixing the final drive gear. I believe it was novemberish 2022. Called windrock carnage report. The hardest part is pulling the trans out lol.
@@TheCanAmCrew haha I feel it brother appreciate it
I got lucky that mine went out 6 days before the extended warranty expired.
I’m dealing with the same issue but if I put the sxs in 2wd it will not move at all put it in 4wd and it will move. Is it the drive gear stripped out or is it something else?? Please let me know thanks
That sounds right. Jack the back end up and see if the tire spins while in park. If either tire or both tires do then it’s stripped. Your four wheel drive should still work since it has nothing to do with your final drive gear.
Good job i guess I'm doing the same job yo mine
Ya it seems to be pretty common unfortunately. We’re at 8000 miles now and still doing ok. Taken the axles out every once in awhile and clean them. Re grease then slap it back together.
Im getting a loud clunking sound at times on the trail. Thought it was my sway bar links but then I found that my drivers side axle has play up and down where it mates with the rear diff/trans. Would this be the same issue?
The play will eventually turn into a stripped gear. New axles every few thousand miles or maintaining the ones you have are key. Remove snd grease then re apply is supposed to be done regularly. Striped final drives typically happen between 4-6000 miles if you don’t maintain them. I got 8500 out of mine
Man that was a good job. Nice video new sub💯
Thank you. We appreciate it.
Have that problem now can fix tanks
Hello, I had the same problem, my Maverick is an xrs model with 800 hours, unlike you, I put a new axle and everything seems to be fine, I've been driving like this for 10 hours, do you think it will last?
You will get a little more life out of it will leave you stranded at some point.
did you put new orings on the axles they dont come from can am with them thats what keeps all the mud and water out.
I sure did, I have my own o ring set so I threw 2 of mine on there.
Should have put ZRP billit shift forks in and replaced the bearing maybe even a RCV output shaft
That would have been a good idea. I actually wasn’t aware that was an option when we did this.
Was it clicking by any chance or any other symptoms before hand? I feel like mine might also be bad since I hear some clicking behind me on the driver side when turning slow.
@@Dsrterra axle click is normal when the cv joint wears out but you should Jack it up and see if the axle moves inside the transmission at all. Any forward to backward play. Sloppy dad is not good.
@@TheCanAmCrew awesome. Thx for the reply man. I’m enjoying your videos so much🤙🏼
At 23:11 I see a blue gasket on your bench. Does that go on the smaller case that you removed before splitting the main case? Did you re-use it or replace it?
I reused that gasket for the side cover
@@TheCanAmCrew thank you
Hi, very good video 👍
I have the same clicking noises(2:25) but only in reverse do you think it’s the same problem?
Thanks
I’m not sure, I’d almost have to hear the noise. You can send me a video on my Facebook page and I can try to help you out if you’d like.
How hard was it stabbing the gearbox back into the engine?
It wasn’t bad at all. Everything went pretty smooth aside from removing the hubs and axles
How does the engine connect to the front of the tranny? I’m about to do this to mine and I’m not understanding how they connect. Just slide up in or?
Ya, they just slide together. There is a shaft that comes out of the trans and slips into the driveshaft. Pretty simple design. A collar actuated on the trans locks the 4 wheel drive.
What the heck are the torque specs for re assembly. Can't find them anywhere.
They are listed in the service manual. We have the downloaded version right from brp on a tablet.
@TheCanAmCrew dang ok, I looked threw there an found just about everything besides what I needed. I'll look again. Thx
Have you done one recently? I’m in the process of doing mine but have a trip in a month. I was just wondering if they are still on back order for a 2018 xds
Ya. We just did one a few months back.
@@TheCanAmCrewwhen I put it back in with the gear selector cover I can’t shift, but with it off I can shift fine. Any ideas?
@@justinlucas2269 unfortunately without looking at it myself I can’t tell you anything. Something isn’t lined up. Most likely the half gear on the spline that the shifter hooks to. If that doesn’t go back in exactly how it came out you won’t be able to to shift it.
Gracias a ti me anime a hacerlo yo mismo Gracias, solo una duda? Como fue lo de el aceite, con cuantos litros rellenaste
Thank you. It takes a quart and a half to refill.
Gracias saludos de mexico!
Hey man, I have a trans problem on my x3, at first it could go just in r after that just in h, now it wont move at all , do you have anu idea what it could be
My guess would be a bent or broken shift fork. It’s some what common and has those effects your explaining.
I have to replace the oil pan on this same machine u think id be able to get to the oil pan by taking the rear end out ?
I think you could to it by dropping the skid plate.
@@TheCanAmCrew the rear drive shaft that connects to the rear diff is in the way blocks three bolts
Do you have to remove the actuator in the differential or can that stay in there to take it out?
@@cmrepair8720 removing it makes it so much easier to work with and get it out.
the same thing happened to mine.ordered the parts ,did you have to have the shifter lined up when you put it back together
Yes, the shifter is really easy to get messed up. The shift fork in the gear box can spin and misalign the gearing also. If you mark it all you should be fine
How many hours and miles on the machine when this happen thanks great job by the way
Thank you, I would have to double check the hours but it turned 4000 miles the same day this happened. Mine has 5000 miles and has yet to go so luck or the draw I guess haha. Same maintenance on both machines since new as well.
How many miles on the machine when you had to do this?
4000. It’s common between 6
4-6000 miles.
How many miles and what hp are you when it finally stripped? I'm at 3k miles and just curious hownlong before I'm doing serious maintenance like this
4000 miles and 164hp. My x3 is at 7000 miles and is still ok. Just the luck of the draw I guess haha.
is there anything not on back order?! Thanks for the heads up, high maintenance machines
This past year has been terrible for ordering anything haha. We received the gear early than expected so all in all not to bad on this one. We just ordered a 10 new tires and they are a couple weeks out. 🤞🏻
@@TheCanAmCrew just got my x3 a week ago! I have parts all over the country heading this way and on back order. Can't wait for the temps to be above 0, or windshield get here!
Torque specs on the case bolts?
I would check the manual for sure but I think they are 17 foot pounds
What gearbox oil did you use and how much?
I use the can am recommended amount and their fluid. 75/140
What mantenince to do to about this probem? Whtas is the charget for tha?
You can do it yourself for about 800.00 in parts. Pull the rear axles out once a year or every 1-2,000 miles and grease the splines and re install.
Thanks im new to this my maverick has 1000 miles on it i Just put grease only on the bearings
My 21 RS wont shift in high, wont go past 38mph, ever hear of something causing that?
If it won’t shift into high then most likely you have a bent shift fork. It’s to real common but I’ve heard of it happening a few times.
Where is a differential in this gearbox?
It’s basically a spool.
🙂
Hey man, this video was awesome. I just did mine and getting ready to put her back in..for the transmisson cable to the shaft...did you have to adjust it at all? I took mine off in park but manaul says to put back on in neutral. How did you do yours?
We left ours in neutral. Everything went great. We have a new version of this video. It’s on our channel from last December. 2022. It’s called windrock carnage and final drive gear or something like that.
@TheCanAmCrew hey man...that bottom screw driver side that goes from bracket to the transmission, how the hell did you guys get that screw back in, even with pry bar I can't seem to get the angle right
Any special tool to split the trans case
No, just take the bolts out and be careful to mark the shifter because if it moves you could be in the wrong position when assembling it
@@TheCanAmCrew any leaks where the cases meet?
@@nickelgracing9313 no. I used transmission permatex to seal it and it’s been perfect.
@@TheCanAmCrew this is my next fix on mine. Mine has 7000 miles. Rocky mountain has the final gear for 300.
How many miles on it when if failed? What hp are you at? How hard do you ride it, what type?
It had just turned 4000 miles when this happened, we ride them fairly hard but not to the point of not being able to dive it back out of the woods hahaha. We’re at 165hp to the crank. 150 to the wheels. We ride West Virginia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Michigan. Mud, climbs, rocks. Etc.
@@TheCanAmCrew Thanks, good info. I just bought my used x3 last week with 700 miles on it. Coming from a Wildcat X, what a difference!
Heck ya that’s awesome. I have 6000 miles on mine and have only replaced the front a arm bushings last weekend and secondary rollers at the same time. It’s all about the maintenance. Pull the axles every once in a while and grease them and you won’t have any issues.
How long did it take u to do this
About 6 hours
Howdy, did your axle come out that easy the first time?
I think I have same issue, 5,900 miles. Axle is being a pain.
It was a pain to get out, we had to hook a ratchet strap around the cv joint and ratchet to the side of my garage then tap on the cv with a hammer. It’ll pop out if you get enough tension on it. They can be a pain in the ass to get out if they’ve been in there for awhile.
@@TheCanAmCrew Thanks! Yeah, been in there it's whole life! Hoping if it is the splines my extended warranty will cover? Thanks for replying, and thanks for all the videos! Good job Man!
If the same thing happened to yours there is a change warranty will cover it however if your running tires other than stock they might reject it depending on how well you know your dealer. I paid out of pocket so we didn’t have to wait and go through the warranty process. My dealer told me it would be over a month process.
@@TheCanAmCrew Thanks for the info!
Hey bro . where can I order it? I have the same problem
I ordered mine straight from my dealer. I believe you can get it from partzilla too.
