SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION:
SYMPTOM: Loud banging noise when in gear resulting ultimately in locking the transmission.
CAUSE: Most likely abuse and gear grinding by kids. Training issue.
FIX: Replace cluster gear and final drive gear. The cluster gear was torn up and final drive missing teeth.
TROUBLES ALONG THE WAY:
* Trying to remove variator without impact wrench. Damaged variator face plate
* Putting case back together at 1:30 AM and not making sure all gears/posts were lined up. Push post through case.
* Forgetting to put plug from CVT to Transmission back. Fluid into CVT area
* Not setting the shift cable mechanism properly. Eventually resulted in cart slipping out of drive
