    This is all to to me as well, I can't say I know the answer to that, wish I did though. When I turned the soleplate I noticed the squeak. I did like I said and noticed the squeak went away. At that point I was happy and unfortunately I didn't really pay attention to how freely it spun. I am going to need to do some maintenance here soon as I'm starting to hear the squeak again, its not as bad , but its there. It could be just in need of some cleaning.

    Coleman reps out hear don't get back to you they are terrible, I'll just build one. I could try to phone but something tells me I'll get no where with that to.

    yeah I thinking it was a combination of over torqued and crud

    The parking park was fine with mine, but backed it off just a tad anyway. What solved the squeak was I was removed the wheels one at a time , turned the soleplate by hand and found that the front left ( drivers side) one squeaked . I loosened and re torqued the hub nut and sprayed brake cleaner to clean any debris and the squeal stopped and has not returned. Thanks everyone for their help and input!

    So my Coleman since the day we got it has this annoying squeaking sound when moving along slowly , its sounds like it 's in the front and the back, but not sure if its just the sound carry along the botton. If you apply the breaks it gets louder, go up to speed and the noise goes away. It sounds like the breaks , but I can't see anything., its metal on metal sound, I'm just clueless as to what or where. Has anyone else had this issue? if so do you have a fix. If not does anyone now what it is? I'm trying to load a video, if successful , you can hear the sound, along with my comment that's it the breaks, but I really have no idea, The important thing is you'll be able to hear the sound , I would appreciate any advice or guidance on the fix. Thanks FD3C9721-4E34-4B99-A2AF-495F4672D6E0.mov

    Thank you , this a big help , I knew I was missing some. How did I miss this in the manual...wow! appreciate the response , thanks again

    great tip on the shifter , thanks. BTW how many grease zerks are there?, just want to make sure I get them all!

    Hi all! I have an annoying metal on metal sound coming from the back end at slow speeds, this thing is still pretty new less than 100 miles. I went on the hunt for the grease fitting in the back but could only find 2 and the were fine , but I was thinking there must be more. While I was at it I also checked the front and again only found 2 . Is that all there is and if not does anyone have a drawing or can tell me where the others are? I went through the manual and there is nothing on them and can't seem to find anything on line about them. I was thinking it could also be the breaks, as the sound gets a little louder when you apply the breaks, but its still like new or maybe the parking break isn't fully disengaging. Anyway , thought I would start with the grease first, Appreciate any help with this. Thanks Rob

    I went through the process and tried it the Coleman way , and while it was better , it skipped out a couple of times . So I was thinking about what Cliff did and I went at that way , the linkage was off, okay that explains the problem, so I adjusted it again and it was waaay better , a little tweak and problem gone , she runs great again!! Thanks for all the great detail you provided Cliff ! Couldn’t of done it without it .

    mmmm...thanks Cliff, I'll be attempting this tomorrow...hope it solves my issue. I sometimes have it happening in forward and reverse, but mainly reverse. I'll give Coleman's instruction a try first, if that fails I'll try your way, either way I hope if fixes the issue....fingers crossed . Thanks for the update!

    This is great info Cliff! could this be my problem? Just recently the Coleman 400 has been acting up. ( I should also point out it has only 13 hrs on it only ) it slips out of gear when starting out. Its worse when trying to go in reverse, there is a clunk and you heard it spin, its like it almost goes into gear then kicks out. It seems to be less of an issue in 2wd and worse in 4wd, and if the machine is under a load ....ex. in snow 4wd , it feels like it kicks out of gear and nothing happens. I changed out the gear oil, which was low ( from the factory) and while it seems to be happier with the new oil , it still is acting up. I was going to post the problem to see if anyone could help , when I saw the file. I was actually looking at what they are showing, but wasn't sure what to do. Could this be the reason?

    Thanks for the replies, I’m finding out its okay to go with GL-5 in both places, GL-5 is the new tech and can be used in place of GL-4. You cant however use the GL-4 in place of GL-5.

    Hi all! glad to be here! I'm new to the world of UTV's ,side by side's what ever the right term to use is.LOL I have a Coleman 400UTV-5 and the family and I love it so far. I have lots to learn about it regarding maintenance and use, so get use to possibly getting a lot of questions. I'll try my best to limit them and some may be even silly/stupid questions and I'll apoligize now in advance and ask for your patience and a little tolerance. I have posted a question regarding gear oil , thats has been frustrating to find, so I appreciate any help there. So for now thanks for letting me in, and I look forward to being here. 1st pick out at the property being enjoyed, 2nd pic was the day we picked her up ( it was exciting for us)

    Hi all! My name is Rob and I'm new the the UTV world. I'm Glad to be here and learn from the experts here on the forum. I have a frustrating question to ask the experienced members on here regarding the gear oil for my Coleman 400. The manual recommends for the final drive SAE 80 API GL-4 Hypoid gear oil and for the Diff SAE 80 API GL-5 Hypoid gear oil. I can't find this stuff anywhere( I'm in Calgary by the way) ..especially the GL-4 stuff. If I find something close , it's not Hypoid , or only GL-5 What is everyone using , whats safe? is the dual rated stuff good to use in both places, most of the dual rated stuff I find saids not recommended for a wet clutch. Obviously I have a lot to learn about this , so I'm here to learn and ask for some advice. Appreciate any input, help and guidance.....thanks -Rob
