OK so an update I've taken the mtx75 trans apart and found the culprit I spun all the bearings on each of the shafts and the diff with my hand and the bearings on both ends of both shafts are SHOT and making noise so will need to be replaced surprisingly the diff bearings seem fine for now I'll keep yous updated.
