Default 2007 YDRE uneven braking

I have replaced my YDRE 2007 Transaxle with a factory new Yamaha unit. It has an internal wet brake. When braking it feels like a warped rotor or drum. It did this the very first stop and I have about one mile on it now.
My old one did the same thing before it failed with a lot of grinding noise and me pushing it home.
The brake pedal is adjusted with to approximately 2 inched of free travel. I have rotated the tires and taken care to torque the rims in the correct sequence. Again this only happens when applying the brake.
Is there something I missed? Is this a typical YDRE problem? A warrantee issue?

I replaced my transaxle because of the squawking noise when stopping. I never experienced any grinding or warped feeling while stoping. Did you fill the transaxle with Yamalube before driving it, as they are not shipped with it.

Yes it is full of Yama lube. No grinding with the new unit, actually very quite. Just that surging uneven feeling of a warped rotor.
BTW my transaxle was shipped with the lube. I topped off the last half inch before test drive.

Try checking your clutches and the belt. Could it be that when you apply the brake to stop that the clutches are not downshifting smoothly.

If it's uneven when braking there is something internally wrong. I would get it replaced if it's new.

That's what I'm thinking after consulting with you and a local cart guy. I was hoping there was a better solution than R and R again.
Thanks

A "Factory New" rear end should have nice smooth braking that would be trouble free for years. Sounds like you got a bad unit or someone was BSing you about it being a new factory unit.
