⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• A whine or growl from the drive that rises and falls with speed
• Drive oil milky with water, or carrying metal flakes at the change
• Oil weeping at the shaft seals or the bellows
• Play or vibration felt at the propeller shaft
• Shifting stiff, noisy or slow to engage

🛠️ Service Notes
