Connecting Two motors to one Jaguar Controller?

Well, we've been working on setting up our motor drive system and ran into a bit of a problem.

We've been running each motor to a single Jaguar, but now we're thinking one of the Jaguars might have died on us. I've heard varying opinions on this matter, and basically wanted to see if I could get some solid information.

Basically, would we be able to run both motors connected to a single Gearbox through a single Jaguar, or do we need two control modules, one for each motor on one side?

If we can do this, are there any adverse affects or downfalls, or anything that we should be aware of?

If we can consolidate each side to a single Jaguar, I think it'll make everything much easier, but I wanted to see if anyone has experience with this first before we try and push it.

Thanks for the time!
