So I was riding some trails last week and ended up in waist deep water and it ended up in my transmission (motor did not get contaminated) I drained it out after riding for an hour and it was very grey and had dirt in it. I thought that I may have heard some squealing so I felt the clutch cover and it was hot to the touch. Should I just buy all new bearings for the transmission and replace them? How labor intensive of a job is that? Do I have to split the cases?

If it got in your tranny, I'd assume it got into the motor oil as well, wouldn't it?

Lol. Thanks for the detailed explanation Smile
Ha ha sorry. On the Honda's the transmission/clutch oil is separate from the engine oil, which is beneficial in situations like mine.

Go ahead and split the cases. Better safe than sorry.

So I do have to split the cases to gain access to the transmission bearings?

As far as I know, unless that bike is special.

You probably don't need to replace all the bearings, could be a single bad bearing and it's under the right side cover. But it's advisable to just split the cases, and clean it out really good.

If it were me I would not take a chance at all. Just split the cases, clean everything up and while in there replace whatever needs to be replaced. I know its a pain in ass but I would not want to take a bike far out into the woods and know there could be an issue with it. I would replace the crank also if it has a lot if hours on it.
