🔌 Function

Encloses and supports the gear set, holding the bearings and shafts in their machined bores so the gears mesh correctly and the assembly stays oil-tight.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Whine, growl or rumble from the drive that changes with speed
• Oil weeping from a joint face or from a shaft seal
• Metal glitter in the drained oil
• Bearing bores worn, stepped or blued, so new bearings are loose
• Cracks at a bolt boss or across a bearing web found on strip-down

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew the bearings, seals and gaskets with the housing, since a housing that has failed rarely leaves them serviceable
• Check the gears and shafts for damage before rebuilding, as debris from the original failure will still be in the assembly
