Just look for worn gears and case damage, besides that its just the seals and the chain so have at it.. its not fun lol

What would be the normal lifespan of the gears, if it never have done any real trail running ?
I bought it second hand, but po never used 4wdother than in snow or light mud ?

I opened mine at 225,000 and it looked pretty much new and besides random cases I never hear of them going before the engine or transmission

When you go to drop your case apart.. pay atention to the fluid... see if you see a lot of metal flakes.

also once you open it up look at the magnet and see if you see a lot of shavings.

chain should have a lil slop... not a lot. the chain and the pads on the shift forks are about the only wear/replacemnet items I would worry about especially if the fluid looked good when you dropped it.
