ok i took apart the tranny and all the gears seem fine (no broken teeth or anything) and then when i took the differential gear out (the differential outdrives were still attached, so i tried holding the gear with one hand and tried spinning one of the outdrives, and it was so hard to spin it (thats not supposed to be that hard to spin it is it?) i tried loosenind the cap screw (that goes in to the outdrives) and it spins freely now but its too loose, if i tighten it a little bit, its hard to spin it (so whats causing it to not spin freely???) thanx 4 your replys
