Do I have a Transmission or Hub problem?

This is the cause of the brake hub failing, remove the teens from the cart and there will be no more problems. How many brake hubs have you striped on the cart when you were driving the cart

IF using our hardened hubs resulted in a lot of stripped axles then we would sell hardened axles as well but, it doesn't and we don't. Make sure the splines are in good shape and put anti-seize paste on the splines during assembly to fill any voids. Mostly change your driving habits. Like come to a stop between forward and reverse. And never roll back and slam on the gas.

You wouldn't believe how many vids I seen of people doing that to pop wheelies, when they don't have quite enough torque. Popping wheelies even without rolling backwards first are likely pretty bad too.

When installing the new drum, proper tightening of the axle castle nut is very important to keep the drum splines from stripping again. Here is the method to use;

The repair manual says 90 ft-lbs torque minimum and 140 ft-lbs maximum.
Get a 1/2" torque wrench, tighten to at least 90 ft-lbs then tighten it to the next notch to drop in the cotter pin, do not back off the castle nut.

Good luck - RAY
