I have a Yamaha G-29 drive that is leaking oil on the drivers side. I think I need to pull the transaxel off the cart to fix the but I’m not sure how to do that does anyone know how and in what order?

Re: Yamaha drive transaxel
Ouch, I think your oil leak is at the end of the axle, right? (Out of the little hole). If so, yes, that's a big job & has to be changed from the inside. (Remove axle & totally disassemble).

Re: Yamaha drive transaxel
I think I may have same issue, recently seen drips under rear axle. Was afraid to ask what might be in case a serious issue, Mine 2014 YDRE with 4 inch lift, 23 inch tires and a back seat. A friend asked me if additional weight on rear seat is causing? Can anyone give me advice on next step, is this something I can put off until fall?

Re: Yamaha drive transaxel
After doing some research on this website (it’s very helpful) I’m finding out I may have a team axle and doesn’t seem to be fun to deal with.. My brakes also pulsate when try to stop.

Re: Yamaha drive transaxel
I have talked with a few other local techs and that seems to be the general consensus that I need to pull the transaxel apart. My next question is will I have it open I wanted to change the gear ratio out from 12.1 to a 8.1 has anyone ever done that or had it done?

Re: Yamaha drive transaxel
Ok guys pulled the transaxel out replaced both oil seals on the passenger side and drivers side, changed out the gear ratio from 12.5:1 to 8:1. I’m waiting on parts for the seal and o ring for the motor mount then ready to but this beast back together and test drive if anyone has to do this it definitely is labor intensive but it is doable. If I can help with anything let me know! I will give an update after the test drive

If you have pictures of the job, that’d be amazing. Just in case anyone else ever needs to do it. |

Re: Yamaha drive transaxel
I did mine last week. Went together flawlessly but ended up destroying my rear end. Needless to say, if anyone has a stock yellow/green tag yami rear end im a buyer!
