I wouldn't say its a problem but in my trans the 3 screws parts #94036 going into part #86369 the screws came undone why is that could I loctite them to kelp it from happening again?
 
It shows in my manual that loctite should be used on those screws. I guess somebody at the factory forgot to use it when they assembled it. I would say that if there is no internal damage then apply loctite to the screws and reassemble it and give her hell!
 
Same thing

Mine did the same thing after about three months. I was looking every thing over and brushing it off before bringing it inside. When i rotated the wheel i could feel something catching somewhere in the drive line. Long story short. I pulled both diffs down found nothing so i pulled the Transmission and all three screws from the Transmission gear to the hub where backed out and rubbed a grove in the face of the one way gear holder. Loctite fixed it no more problems in a year.
 
also what color loctite should i use i put the blue loctite on yesterday and it ran fine today is blue good or should i use some other color?>
 
I've had to drill or dremel too many screws with red. I use as lot. I'm really liking the new locktite gel with the dial on the bottom.
 
I would also advise you to you blue and not read. I've broken more than one tip on a hex driver trying to unscrew something that was locktited with red. I never use anything but blue and I've never had a problem.
