No I’m saying I’m going to do both. Isolate the motor off trans and also pull the pan. Truly hoping it is possibly just the clutches. I appreciate all the help gentleman. Hoping I can get this figured out soon and hit the first honey hole.

Taking the clutches off means removing the whole rear of the engine, then I don't believe the engine would start due to transmissiom oil pressure issue possibly.

Just realized something. Isn’t there supposed to be a guide between the chain tensioner and timing belt? I’m not really seeing the chain get any tension from the tensioner at all.

Yes, there should be a "guide" on both sides of the timing chain. One is usually a yellowish plastic and the other has rubber edges molded to a metal center.

I think you found your noise.

I would definitely replace the chain and tensioner foot for sure.

Not sure if you're following what @Hello_Darkness is saying, there is no "removing the transmission".....it's inside the engine. The subtrans is just a transfer case, nothing is spinning if the buggy is stationary.

Question is "where did it go?". Better pull the oil pan also and clean out the debris
