Was planning on taking it apart anyway to check wear and clean out the old fluid, but obviously this made it mandatory as the internal gears just dropped off. Wear was pretty much zero, everything fits up good. Nobody lubes it in a long time. But I cannot figure out how that input shaft is kept in place. Was thinking I would need something rigged up externally to hold it in. Did you ever have yours apart or run into this issue?

Sorry, I never had it apart. Mine was locked in and worked great. They did weld a flange on the input shaft, but that's about all I know about it.
There are a few parts places for these buggies online. And I remember the whole unit wasn't real expensive, so I didn't feel bad thrashing on it pretty regularly. good luck with your build. I've moved on to a Jeep XJ build which has been a lot of fun.
