I have a drive that howls when put in gear. drained gear oil,no metal filings on maganets or in oil? Any suggestion or a estimate on what it would cost to fix?

XR gears do make a whinning noise. If there is no metal on the magnets, I would just keep an eye on them. Could be the normal noise they make.

That is good life out of an XR. But don't expect to see another 340 out of the new gears. They were made with quality back in the day, not any more, I am sorry to say.
Just the way it works when you lowest bidder gets the contract, I guess.
