My POWERGEAR motor "lost" the bearing that sits right on top of the pump/motor assembly. Made a horrible sound while deploying. No noise when retracting.
$20 bearing available at any auto store.
Took maybe 8 hours to empty reservoir (2 gallons ATF), disconnect and remove entire assembly, pull the bearing, clean everything as well as possible (LOTS of rust) put in new bearing and slather everything with grease, reinstall and fill with new DextronIII. (one day, anyway)
Sure bears 1200 bucks......
The PG motor comes off without doing all that. It takes about 1 to 2 hours total to replace the 12 volt DC PG motor. Doug
