Here's the scoop there are 4 gearbox/drives for the 4-strokes that I know of

1. the hoot style - POS
Experience - 2 on the shelf
Source - why would you

2. grubee - good, reliable with proper maint., noise is not bad, use grease, lube that bushing, leave engaged.
Problems - key shear at free wheel, clutch bushing stick
Experience many thousand of miles on one.

Bob, yesterday while ridding, heard grinding and pulled over. Sheared half the teeth off the clutch bell housing. Put a replacement in and is awesome again. Any ideas how this could happen? middle gear looked fine. there is some play between the the clutch and retainer.
