That's the open diff in the tranny. Instead of being locked all the time with a solid shaft. It was an update on sand vipers that snapped output shafts on cement and hard pack

Why would you need this in a Trooper? The Diffs in the Trooper are limited slip / one wheel drive until locked so not the same problem as the sand viper. The open diff would limit the effectiveness of the 4 wheel drive! What am I missing?

Roc that piece actually goes inside the transmission. Think of an open diff on the rear of your car, kick the wheels up and put it in drive one spins forward one backwards. Now you stop the forward spinning one with a load and the other wheel spins forward. In essence it pits power to the wheel with the least traction.

Ok now let's stick that unit in your trooper tranny you do 7 hours worth of work or more fire it up the first time put it in 2wheel drive and go. Well you don't go you see because the front driveshaft has no load on it without it being in 4wd so it will spin it and not the rear driveshaft.

This piece is useless unless your buggy is full time 4wd. This is my .02 based on all the years of experience I have take it for what it is worth. But basically that is the theory of operation on that unit. Thats the reason Joyner put that in sand vipers and not the trooper/renegade transmissions.

Thanks Snowman, you said the same thing but better. Further you can not be in full locker & full 4 wheel drive all at the same time. Only one set of drive wheels, front or back, will work. So if you need all 4 wheels for traction, you are s*it out of luck. When I had my dune buggies we got around fine with limit slip in the sand but not if you are rock crawling. You have to have enough cent to not spin coming off of a loose surface to a hard surface. This is even true with a pickup or truck. Have a great Turkey Day.

      750 Sector Rear Diff Swap
      By CarlB
      I have a 2022 Hisun 750 Sector which comes with a locked rear differential. Was wondering if it would be possible to install an unlocking differential.  I see that there are some Hisun made machines that come with the unlocking rear diff, such as Cub Cadet Challenger, some of the Massimos, and probably others. My concern is whether these would be a direct bolt on, using the original axles, drive shaft, and of course matching gear ratio. I've tried to match up part numbers but it seems every brand has their own number system even for parts that I know are identical. If anyone has ever done this swap or has any information about the whether these unlocking rear diffs are comparable to the Sector, I'd appreciate your input.

      Must have upgrades/spares?
      By MilSurpYinzer
      Hey all, I was just wondering what you guys consider a necessary upgrade or spare part to have or mod onto your machine.
      I'm going for a kind of shtf survival rig that's not going to be SUPER heavy and I'm looking at getting:
      A spare belt (I keep seeing this mentioned everywhere I look so it must be important)
      A spare tire and mount( So would I need a jack like one from an old jeep or something else?)
      Tire chains for the winter
      And maybe a cargo bed upgrade so things don't slide out.
      Bumpers because duh.
      I already installed high output lights and have a windshield, roof, back window, and winch. And I outfitted a Molle panel for the back of my passenger seat with extra supplies like food, first aid, and spare mags.
      Any advise on increasing durability, longevity, and having something on hand because it's absolutely necessary would be a plus.
      Thanks so much!

      2016 Kubota 1100 RTV Title Steering wheel locked
      By dragon
      Hi everyone, I am new to the site and I have one question. My tilt steering wheel is locked in the upper position, and I was hoping for someone could help me with the problem. I did spray some WD 40 in the area of the mechanism but still wheel is locked in the upper most position. I am willing to try anything to get the wheel free and move to a lower position. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks!! and Be Safe!

      Drive shaft and spline wear on 2022 700
      By Andy Dickerson
      So heard the grinding noise on the drive shaft a couple of times while going down a steep hill. Never heard this before going down the same hill. I already knew about the splines wearing out because of improper heat treating so I went through the process of removing the shaft to just replace it. A lot things need to be removed to get that thing out. Once I had it remove I didn't see any wear on the splines but what I did notice was the rear spline to rear differential had ZERO grease i.e. it was completely dry and I could see rust that had developed on the shaft splines and inside the differential mating surface. The front of the shaft where it connects to the transmission was well greased. Both ends of the shafts have springs in them with the rear spring being multiple times heavier which would force the shaft to mate securely into the transmission. Unless of course the rear is rusted and starts sticking which is what I think was happening. If the rear splines begin to rust and it starts sticking and the spring doesn't have the enough force to overcome the sticking because of the rust, the shaft will not get fully seated into the transmission. If this starts happening frequently it will eventually eat up the front splines on the transmission side shaft splines which is exactly what I see in the pictures of stripped splines. 
      I don't know why the rear spline shaft wasn't greased but this would cause it to eventually stick. I have been concerned about this ever since reading about it so as soon as I heard the grinding I stopped driving it. Thankfully there wasn't any wear. I'm wondering if this was deliberate or just laziness by the assemblers. It makes no sense not to grease it. The repair manual that I purchased from motorcycle doctor specifies to grease the splines. Both shaft ends have a rubber seal meaning there's is supposed to be grease in there. 
      I used to have a gold wing and there is a special grease required for the rear drive differential which happens to be a spline shaft setup. They use a lithium grease with moly. I had purchased a couple of tube of Magnalube-gx that I never used as I sold the bike. The Hisun manual recommends using a lithium grease which doesn't have the additives of a lithium moly grease that is specialized for spline shafts. Per magnalube website. "Magnalube-GX, however, uses a proprietary matrix of advanced polymers, molybdenum disulfide, and PTFE, so it stays where you put it without getting pressed out, while also maintaining a low frictional drag."
      Anyway, long story short everything is back together and no noise. I would recommend those that haven't checked the grease in the splines on both ends to do so before the shaft get destroyed. Especially If you have heard grinding. Those rubber boots can be pulled back without having to take to many parts off. If you've been hearing grinding then there is probably significant wear already and time to replace the shaft and grease it properly.
