This REALLY surprised me yesterday on our ride. I have not really heard of any known issues with the XP transmission. But mine let go. NO forward / reverse gears. GRINDS in any position. was able to put in neutral, and although made some noise was able to get a tow back to pavement about 10 miles. It appears to have blown one of the bearing races out the side cracking the case. I've had similar issues in my rock crawler and generally find it wastes most of the gears by the pieces going around and around during the tow. Found a used replacement on Ebay for $1000 versus a new one for around $2000.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or any known issues with certain years, etc? I haven't pulled apart yet to try and investigate the cause either. I never serviced the transmission, i.e. oil change either - didn't think that 1500 miles was that much yet.
