I've read quite a few threads about changing out the lube in the front and rear gearboxes and this is something I've been meaning to do but just haven't gotten around to. well when running my d/r on pavement the other day I noticed that when I let off the gas it seemed as if I was applying the brakes slightly because it was slowing down quicker than I thought it should. I checked for anything binding and found nothing but after taking a few things apart and getting down to the front gearbox there seems to be a lot of drag when you try to spin it with nothing else attached to it which kinda makes me think that whatever inside it for lube is more like paste rather than oil. my question is do you have to take the gearbox apart to clean it out or can you just put some kind of solvent in though the fill hole to rinse out the crap and refill and if I do take it apart will I be able to reuse the gasket.
