I had the miss fortune of destroying a gear box. I was stuck in a creek, end of story. Anyway has anyone replaced there stock gearbox with something else and what was it?
Thanks

Update, not that anyone here cares, but it turns out the clutch is fried. Ordering a new one tomorrow. Apparently if you are climbing some hills and it is hotter then hell and you drive through a deep creek, **** breaks. Oh well it is only money.

So for those looking at this from a google search. Tom at sycpowersports.com was extremely helpful contact him and he will help you out.

WE CARE-Do you think the extreme heat and the water coming together caused the failure? or was it just from thrashing it trying to get unstuck?

I was having a bad moment, ya know when stupidity burns money, sorry.

All the above, I had been driving up a steep road for about 10 miles when I when through the creek. The creek was about 12-14 inches deep and it filled the belt/clutch area with water. It turned the whole clutch a blue from the heat and ate the pads. When I had disassembled it I thought that was the way it was suppose to be because it actually looked kind of neet. As of now I am ordering Dr. Pulley clutch, variator, springs, belt and rollers to repace the whole thing. Also I have now learned about the various upgrades and am exploring them.

Is there a prefered setup for roads and trails? When we have gone it is not uncommon for us to go 50+ miles at a time, so what would be the best setup for this?
