Died how? I think you can ship it to Walter and they will be able to fix it.
Not sure about changing to a different brands.

Not mine, but I remember reading this. It was shipped back.

I sent mine back to Walter in NJ a few years ago. They can repair and if unable will sell
you a brand new unit. I'd stick with Walter so you don't have to get into modifying the mounts or worry about everything lining up with your prop drive shaft.Comment

If you don't mind how much did it run you having them rebuild your v drive?Originally posted by t.franscioni View PostComment

Pretty expensive....$1200 I want to say? It needed a new copper cooling line, new bottom gasket and a new top cap and oil pump rebuilt I believe . The main housing and gears were okay. If either of those two major items fail then your looking at a new unit as I recall. New unit was like $3000 or something I can't recall for sure. Give em a call they were very nice and helpful over the phone.Comment

Yep new v drive cost me $3400 and mine could not be rebuilt bc the bearing got into the gears and messed them up
rebuilt one if gears are not messed up will run you $1700Comment

Begs to be asked...Why would the v-drive go out? Things like this make me really nervous and anything I can do to help prevent it and I on it.
Also, if you do need a rebuild, could they change the rotation for the pre-2006 years?Comment
