G5/LYNX Drive shaft retainer 2023/24 update

[@Keith63060]

Just installed it in the new turbo 850 MXZ day before yesterday.. thank you easy install.....

When that 2nd (smaller piece) of the drive shaft is in the sled doesn't the bearing slot into something snug that stabilizes the gear from wobbling?

The kit you're showing looks like it's updated with a bolt head on the insert... I installed the original kit last year, lasted all season but now i need to take the kit out for warranty. The insert is not holding in place to remove threaded bolt. Any recommendations on how to remove this? I've tried everything i can think of and no luck!

Use a few long extensions together and a 1in. socket to slip onto the retainer through the shaft.

1 inch socket ??? Onto what?

[@dennissoltis9636]

@@alecanderson1356 I just purchased mine in the last few months, and it accepts a 1 inch socket. Your aluminum retainer doesn't have a bolt head? Allen? Nothing? if thats correct, that sucks. Maybe TKI would swap you for the new style if thats the case?

$225 for this bandaid kit. $274 for the 1 piece OEM Driveshaft off g4 sleds that had 0 problems with failures… why in the world would people choose to run this bandaid ridiculous insert when you can buy the who new one for damn near the same and sell your brand new oem g5 2 piece to someone for $180-$200 lol… y’all make some good parts but this is ridiculous and you should be ashamed selling this. Sell people the oem 1 piece actual driveshaft…. On top of all of that now your trying to sell a bottle of some bullshit oil too!! Y’all are insane
