Thanks & yes maybe the case. Part not off to see. Splines gone is what happened on first one. What I don’t get is what is killing them? If is soft aluminum to save a buck or sacrificial to save shaft on tranny.? Haven’t even had any emergency stopping for it to drastically drop gears or anything. Just odd& would like to diagnose if is maybe something I’m doing/not-doing.
