Plus one on that, if you push the HP and the equipment it is time.
I keep forgetting the 500 is overhead cam so it would be different, as for the 700 and 800 you just need a basic puller from the parts store, it is very straight forward if you have mechanical skills.
Sorry I have not done the cam mod on a 500 yet, only the 700 and 800 models, it should be about the same though.
Are you coming to a complete stop prior to shifting and letting the engine RPM drop?
This may sound strange but try putting it into reverse briefly, then into High.
You are right, I would hope he had read the manual on changing gears while in motion, the other thing he needs to do is check the throttle cable and make sure it is not sticking and keeping the idle up by not closing the butterfly all the way, high idle would start to close the primary drive chives and cause the transmission to hard shift and grind as well while going into gear.
Bikeman and Dirty dawg performance have been working with Polaris rangers before anyone else did, they know the product more then anyone else and that is who i would deal with, Hands Down :!: .
Well well enough said on this as on the above postings :!: , I would not blame Polaris for the warranty service issue but a bad dealership :!: .
This is a prime example of a bad dealer and not a good dealer, every transmission i have heard of was repaired or replaced under warranty unless the problem was inflicted by owner negligence, not to say this was the case but there is to little info on your problem for me to make an honest judgment if the transmission failure was a factory problem and not owner negligence, at 35 hours any good dealer would have fixed it, I am very curious on what the cause of the failure was that prevented a warranty repair of this unit and why everyone else has had there's fixed with almost no problems, it just does not make sense, It is a shame that you did not read my earlier post before spending the money because it would have been fixed by some other dealer free of charge with out any problems, and again it is a shame that your dealer put you through this, I do understand that Polaris corporate has a very bad problem when you go to them direct and they always push you off back to the dealers, i have had problems with this with them in the past and it is my number one complaint with them.
Well this does not sound good :!: , was there any metal in the oil at the change :?: , did you check the gear case engagement points at the gear case in relation to what it showed at the shifter :?: , did you try testing it at the gear case with the cable removed and was the problem still present :?: , make sure that the shifting arm on the gear case is not striped or lose on the shaft :!: :?: , if none of this works then there may be internal transmission trouble and the transmission will need to be taken apart and repaired

One thing you will need to do is check all the pins at the TPS connector, they have been known to break close to the pins and Polaris has replacement parts for this, the other thing is you may have a bad TPS sensor all together as well and need to test it to make sure that with a meter that when you open and close the throttle body that the voltage from high and low is very consistent as you open and close it, also get some CRC mass air flow sensor cleaner and clean out that sensor real good and test for vacuum leaks around the intake with card cleaner, here is the post on the TPS adjustment i did some months back, and good luck
.
The first thing would be a good kit for the PVT drive system, that would be first because the stock system needs lots of improvement, a kit from dirty dawg performance or bikeman is my recommendation, then would be a exhaust with the fuel controller and Air fuel gauge kit, then would be a cam and ECU upgrade from dirtydawg performance, it goes on from here a lot deeper depending on the machine and what you use it for, all of what i said would be for performance upgrades to get the power to the ground of course and the dress stuff is up to the owners taste as you would know, most of all the trails in my area and California are 60 inch capable and there is now problem with that, I understand it is a problem in other states though.
Is there THAT much difference between 50 and 60 inch width? I like the idea of being able to get the machine in the back of a pick-up. It seems to me that the RZR models would work as hard as the Rangers do. But the Rangers will not play as well as the RZRs on the trail. I have read the posts where some say that the 50 inch feels a bit tipsy. Is this just an impression that goes away after using for a while? Primary use would be exploring the woods on ATV and dirt bike trails and gaining acces to hunting areas on dirt roads in the Fall. Maybe some mild sand riding on the coast.
Thanks
The rzr has no real bed space and no where as much bed capacity, it does share the same towing capacity but not as much as the Ranger HD, The ranger Xp and Hd have much more storage areas then the rzr class, the standard Rzr does not have the stability as the Rzr-s and the bigger Ranger XP or HD due to the width, there is a big difference here on this, the standard Rzr is way more dangerous for tip overs then the other two machines, you have to be way more careful on this, the ranger HD has power steering, the stock speeds are 50 for the ranger Xp and 55 for the standard Rzr and 62 for the Rzr-s, the wheel travel is a lot more on the Rzr-s due to its long travel system along with more ground clearance, the Rzr-s also has a hotter engine and other refinement over the standard Rzr, to build a standard Rzr into a Rzr-s it would take around $4500.00 extra dollars for the upgrades to due your self, the Ranger Xp can take 3 people in the front seat and only two on the Rzr class, As for the ranger Xp not being able to play well, It does just fine :!: , As for 2010 to 2011 models expect to see the 72 Hp 850cc sportsman engine in the Rzr-s model.
I think you are good to go with using the rotella synthetic, i for a while used it in my 700 and the 5w rating for the oil will be good for the low temperatures, I would do the changes at 50 to 75 hours as well, it is much better for the engine, as for the oil filters what the guy was telling you about the flow rate is B.S. as long as you keep the bypass valve pressure equal or better then the stock filter as well as the same size or bigger, you can go to the Wix Filters site and cross reference and see the specs on that site for all the filters, on the 700 engine i use the PL14610 filter from a Honda automobile, below is a posting i did some months ago on this subject that may help.
From everything i have seen on this problem is that they do seep a little, people have changed the seals out and still have the same problem afterwards, mine has stopped and come back several times and it was changed once, after a long and hard research for a fix for this problem and talking to many people with it, I just now live with it and check the level from time to time, if yours is pouring and hem ridging out you need to fix it, if it is just seepage i would run it because you can do a lot of work just to be disappointed, it is just the nature in the beast.
If you want to keep the load off the belt it is recomended to run in low drive but that is for creaping along and you can not have much fun with that on a dirt track or the dunes, it is good for rock crawling and stuff like that, the stock polaris system is not that great from the factory and needs alot of inprovement and that is why the first upgrade should be a good drive kit and do not look back. the dirty dawg kit is about the best for the polaris machines, I am now at this time running the one from EPI and as of now i am not happy with it, I still lose to much power to the ground and pulls like crap up hill, i will be going back to and upgradeing my drive system to the one from dirty dawg performance.
Adjust the tie rods properly. 1/8" to 1/4" toe out is where ya need to be.
Let us know how you like the new kit. What shocks did you go with?
that is correct, 1/8 to 1/4 toe out is the proper set up.
