we were riding 2 weeks ago , and i hit a hill and it acted like i blew a cv. Came down the hill backwards , but when i got to the bottom the buggy moved. Ran it like that the rest of the day, but now its bunny hopping when i let out on the clutch . it got real bad saturday when we were out .
1) cv's and axles are ok
2) motor and tranny were bolted tight
3) pulled my 5 rib apart - spider gears and all the other gears look good

I'm lost -- anybody have any ideas?

Might be a broke engine or tranny mount,,,that will even tug on the throttle sometimes too.

most of the time if its hopping like that its the front trans mount loose or broke frame horns.i run my axles without clips and i have had an axle come out of the cv on a bad rutted hill i was setting sideways and knew i had spun it.got the buggy pushed around when i got to the bottom it had went right back in.it's happened to me a few times.but that should not have caused it to start hopping.you have something loose or broken in a main support somewhere.chad :mrgreen:
