hey mooseman, I have a 2007 venture lite and had all of the notorious gearbox problems. I was wondering if A: you can offer advice on the easiest way to pull the shaft, and B: best place to source used parts. Thanks so much for the great posts. I noticed you're in Greely, I'm up in Calabogie. Is there an email/number I can reach you at thats's easier? I understand if youre not comfortable with that. thanks a million
