Has anyone rebuilt the reduction gear on a Think. It is starting to make some subtle noises after 85,000 miles. Dunno if it is just bearings or the gears would need to be changed. Any thoughts would be appreciated. -Tom

At about 25k miles I had some noise at some light loads.  I had the fluid checked and there was metal shavings on the magnetic drain plug.  There was a bad bearing in the transaxle.
