Thanks again for your support. Pulled the transmission yesterday and found a repaired case. after taking it apart I found needle bearings everywhere, no fluid, metal chunks on the drain plug magnet. forward drive gear in rough shape and some parts missing. The guy pulled the wool over on me. I made a list of all the parts from Polaris to repair the transmission and it came to almost $500. I also took pictures of every step along the way. Dropped the guy an email and told him that there is no way that this machine would drive fine after the carb job like he said. We'll see what happens. I think it's going to get ugly but I hope not. Thanks for all your help. Have a great day. Tom John
