My ltx1040 has a clicking noise in the rear end and I don't know what is wrong. It also has a little oil or grease on the right side axle where it comes out of the housing. It now and moves fine, just wondering if there's a bigger problem getting ready to happen?
im guessing its hydrostatic transmission? if so it could be a gear inside the transmission. that is if the clicking is still going on. theres pretty much no fixing that

If a warrantable problem occurs in the first two years of service, the transaxle will be replaced as a unit by an authorized White dealer, returning the transaxle to MTD for vendor recovery. It may also be repaired by a Hydro-Gear authorized MTD dealer under the Hydro-Gear warranty.
If any non-warranty hydrostatic transaxle service is required, it can be performed by a White or Hydro-Gear authorized MTD dealer. These transmissions are feasible to repair, and the repair / replace decision is left to the judgement of the shop and the customer.
