Polaris Sportsman 500 Transmission Problems

Polaris Sportsman 500 Transmission Problems. We have seen the short aluminum arms that are on top of the transmission which attach to the shift linkage arm and then attach to the shaft going inside of the transmission, we have seen these aluminum arms strip the splines inside of them. The ears get rounded off and they will not engage properly.

Only 5 months old, so hopefully the warranty will cover it!!! Also check linkage to make sure it is not binding. When i take off, the transmission feels like it is slipping and jerking, and there is a horrible clunking sound that sounds like it is coming from the transmission.

Or Should I Just Take It Back.


Also sometimes it will crack and not fully engage with and rotate the shaft that goes inside the transmission. They definitely should recall the voltage regulator because it will eventually wreak havoc on other electrical components costing more money. Only 5 months old, so hopefully the warranty will cover it!!!

I Made An Offer Of $350 And The Shipping Is $49.50 So If He Doesn’t Accept Then I’ll Have To Look Elsewhere.


First, there may be low battery voltage, and owners should try to recharge the battery to 12.8 vdc.

Any Ideas, Can Do Most Work Myself But This Is The First Atv I Have Owned.


This takes polaris agl ( atv gearcase lubricant) as polaris likes to call it. Shift linkage seems to move fine. Perhaps some adjustment on the foot brake to make this work.

Got A Crack In The Top , So It Was Flexing, Creating More Slop.

The only solution is a rebuild, replacing worn parts or a tranny swap. My 2005 polaris atp 500 requires i depress the right foot brake while shifting into reverse or down into low range. Not even 500 miles on it and am leading to believe it is a voltage regulator problem that left me stranded in the woods for hours.
