Albins carnage

[Justgetnby]

On the last forum I had a topic about Albins gear noise.

Well fast forward a few weeks, a delivery to Weddle, and another couple weeks and it’s torn apart.

Here is what was found.

Mind you this is a brand new Albins, with less then 500 miles on it. 
 

Weddle has diagnosed the issue, can you?

Not meshing properly?

 

[Bobalos]

Looks to me like it was hot in there.  to low on fluid maybe??

 

[ChasingSand]

Lack of Fluid?

 

[Justgetnby]

Not meshing properly?

I think this is a reasonable guess. By looking at the gears it looks to be riding on the corner of the gear and not the face. But this isn’t what they said is wrong.

Close, but I removed the recommended 7 quarts..

It had 7 quarts in it when I dropped it.

 

[rampster]

Something didn't let that 7 quarts flow the way it was supposed to?

 

[1newbie]

Bad batch of heat treated gears?

 

[onanysunday]

To much boost?  :closeeyes:

 

[danwalker]

Why don't you just ....tell us what they found.

 

[Jaybird95]

Tranny was mounted upside down?

 

[SLIM]

It was not boke in properly ?  If that's even a thing,  Hopefully you do not have to pay a dime to get this fixed.

 

[Lord of the Dunes]

Since it had oil in it, I'm going to guess poor heat treatment.

I sure hope that was covered under warranty!

 

[Wallnutz]

Going to say wrong oil, or the pump malfunctioned.

 

[Bobalos]

does it have an oil cooler/pump that failed?

 

[HozayKwarvo]

That looks expensive

 

[1newbie]

Any chance the pump (if it had one) was plumbed/wired backwards?

 

[Blue horse]

Bad gear?
