ok since ive had my t1000 ive been through 3 one way bearings and the problem i think im having is the washer/gasket between first an second spur gear has to much of a gap and causing the plastic cover to one way bearing to come loose an spin all grease out. but if i take the washer out it moves freely holding the one way bearing in good, does any1 think this is a bad or good idea? i haven't ran it like that yet.

yeah mine does good for awhile them it starts to slip sometimes, my dad has his buggy an hasnt had a problem like me but his has slipped a few times. do you have a washer between the spur gears?
 
Are you getting dirt or dust down in there? that will kill a bearing fast. I am running the TR brake setup which covers the opening real nice and I also take the OWB out every 2 runs and clean/grease it. haven't had a problem at all.

i need to get a good cover. where can i get 1? what kind of grease are you using? im pretty sure i will have to use some
 
I use high temp bearing grease, same thing I use in my dirt bikes. 5.99 most places it is red and tacky. I clean the bearing with 3-1 oil and a rag first then pack grease into the bearing for a few minutes then wipe most of it off and reinstall.

Seriously? I do not know but it seems that whats getting slung around the gear cover is not that heavy a lubricant:confused:
