Cassette or freewheel problem
I have a mtn. bike that is having drivetrain problems. Whenever I coast the cassette wants to continue to spin forward and results in throwing the chain over the top. I can say that I haven't been the best about cleiang the drivetrain but I lube it often.
New chain and cassette?
Do I have a freewheel problem?
Just need a clean and lube?
Any suggestions?

Sounds like you need a new rear hub. I've heard stories of the freehub body seizing up and I don't know if it can be fixed.
