Was just checking my renegade after a ride and there is 1/3 to 1/2 an inch of play on the through shaft. (clockwise-counter clockwise) Was wondering is that normal??? Wife's is a gen1 (front driveshaft) so nothing to compare to.

one for maybe tranny.............thanks!!! Kind of new to this quad thing if it was a vehicle could track it right down. Rear drveshaft is tight as as new thinking it would slip both ways if tranny was starting to go out? And I did put the silverbacks on just to drive to church on Sundays......lol

Actually had it checked out.................my bad... locked up tight in 4x4 always has play in 2 wheel drive. Tranny oil every 50 hrs here. Maintenance at half of warranty intervals. Pay a little extra to keep it up.
