I have a 05 polaris magnum 330 and this helped us figuring out why the shifter was stuck. Opened her up and found several broken gear teeth and one being jammed in between two gears, we removes the broken teeth and its shifting for the mean time but we need a new gear obviously
There are o-rings behind the shift indicator and the shift rod. Mayme some didn't have them or some people may have added them. Either way seems like a good idea. For just a few pennies you could keep the water from getting in there. Also a bit of die electric grease in the indicator plug.
I did the cheap fix on my 02 700 twin. Piece of can wrapped around upper, and I made a small piece to wrap around lower with teeth and lined it up. Tightened nut and it is all completely tight.also you shouldnt be getting water inside.
Hi i had the same problem with my ranger 500,stuck in reverse,would not shift out.gear stick moving up and down,to Fix It!!!. i took off the front housing of gear (cable side) and replaced a small spring under the selector,.works fine now,thanks to you guys on youtube what would we do without you,!!!!!! keep the tips comming.
Check out this video. czcams.com/video/i-xoP_io2U4/video.html My 2007, Sportsman 800 has become hard to shift too. Unfortunately my quad's bell crank housing does not have the spring and piston that is shown in this video. In the video, the guy's Sportsman 1000 also looks late model, so it's possible that your 2018 will have that feature and his video can help you.
great video this is more or less the problem im having, and considering it a machine that has seen alot of water holes it wouldnt suprise me if i got same problem, by chance was yours stuck in gear before u corrected the problem? the shifter i got is loose and its not selecting a gear
At times I need to alternate neutral to park a few times to get the machine to crank up, in either position. Any suggestions why that is? 2006 700 EFI.
I have the same problem but now when I try to shift while it's running it won't sift feel like there's no clutch any one can help me out What's does the niple that goes with the spring to the pedal break?
Did you have a hard time getting the piece to come off once you broke it free with the pry bar? Mine doesn't want to let go, I can get a gap all the way around but can't get it to come off.
I got a new bell crank and shift shaft. I can't get the bell crank back on...should the bell crank slide right back onto the shift shaft?? I'm aware of the tooth to line it up..it just doesn't seem to fit back on. Part numbers are correct
Having the same issue you did, brand new Polaris oem shift shaft and oem bell crank won’t fit together? Did you find out that they need to be pressed together? Thanks!
I have a Polaris 500 Magnum, and ever time I have it in gear, I can go so far and it will slip out of gear, we changed the shifter, and the rods aswell. We are not sure what is going on...
Shift fork is worn by jamming it into gear while revved up to hi rpm's. Round Shift dog on tranny shaft, grind on the shift fork like you trying to loosen an electric drill's chuck while it is pointed up, by pushing down onto the end of the chuck where the bit goes in, right into the web or U shaped part in between your index and middle finger. Grinds a round spot into the base of both fingers and in between them from friction... that causes heat... that causes the weaker metal to break down and flake off. Bit by bit every time you press it into gear it shaves a bit more off the fork that is used just like the web between your two fingers when you would push on that drill chuck. Just pretend like that Chuck is a gear, and you're trying to get it to go towards another gear until the teeth line up and it slides together against that other gear and locks, causing the meshing with the other gear. The faster your engine spins a less likely that gear is going to go slow enough that its teeth will go in between the other gears teeth. The whole time you are pushing on it with your engine revved up that fork is pushing on that gear and wearing down that fork that looks like your two fingers and right in between them until there is no more metal left in that you shape spot of the fork that looks like your fingers push it towards the other gear and then it just won't ever go cuz it can't push it for enough cuz it's ground down so far that there's nothing there left to push. The shift fork has just been ground out there in the middle of the U until there's a perfect rounded donut shaped gear dog cavity that can't push that gear into the other one. There's no metal left in center U of that fork to push on that gear dog to make it go into mess with the next gear so then all you have left to do is replace the transmission shift forks. Idle your engine down to 600-800 RPMs with the screw that has the string on it on the side of your carburetor. Most peoples ATV with your problems are at about 1200 and they just keep grinding that U on that fork more the more times they push on that shifter with it idled up too high.

Happy to help!

Thanks for leaving a comment!
Thank you very much for doing this. I appreciate it!
Thanks for the upload
can you make a video on how to take apart the shift shaft from the case? mine seems to be frozen in place. thank you
Hopefully you got it figured out.
Did you ever figure this out? Mine is plastic and I am afraid I am going to break it
Mine moves freely , no rev or hi, 99 polaris 500 sportsman, what do yu think it could be, just happened, was fine, minor or major rep ? Thanks
Great video man, nice job.
On my 2018s, it's totally opposite. My biggest complaint is that it catches in every gear like it's binding. I'd rather have your issue.

How did u remove the shift from the plate
It could have rusted away. They clearly liked riding in water with all that rust in there. I have heard of people removing them though.
I was thinking the same thing.
How would I do a 2012 do I gotta take the whole transmission out
Part number for the spring please?? Cannot find it
Thanks for the help.. i just opened up my case and found the same problem. missing a spring. how is yours working for you now?
Working great
great video this is more or less the problem im having, and considering it a machine that has seen alot of water holes it wouldnt suprise me if i got same problem, by chance was yours stuck in gear before u corrected the problem? the shifter i got is loose and its not selecting a gear
Thanks for leaving a comment. Mine wasn't stuck in gear, no.

Sorry man, can't help ya.
Great vid
I just did this to mine
Had no grease so now shifts better
Nice!
Saludos tengo un polaris 800. No entran L Y H ni R si esta encendido, pero apagado entran todos los cambios, q podría ser??
How did you remove the detent pall and the shift shaft from the housing cover?
My polaris 250 trailblazers gear shifter snapped off. Ideas?
Not without seeing what you're talking about but just try taking things apart and see what you need to replace.
I have the same problem but now when I try to shift while it's running it won't sift feel like there's no clutch any one can help me out
What's does the niple that goes with the spring to the pedal break?
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are asking?
My shifter is hard to move... And I even hold the foot brake it’s a 2004 Polaris sportsman 600 twin turbo
u fix it? mines same 2005 sportsman 400
Hopefully this video helped you guys out.
How did u remove that rod from the cover? Mine won't budge
Which rod and which cover? Maybe tell me the time in the video you’re asking about.
@@iveneverdonethisbefore8390 5:45. I can't seem to remove that detent or shift rod from my cover
I'm sorry, I still don't know which you are talking about. Is it all corroded? Perhaps let it sit in penetrating fluid over night.
Did you have a hard time getting the piece to come off once you broke it free with the pry bar? Mine doesn't want to let go, I can get a gap all the way around but can't get it to come off.
No. It came right off other than the sticky gasket making it stick a bit. Maybe you missed a bolt??
I got a new bell crank and shift shaft. I can't get the bell crank back on...should the bell crank slide right back onto the shift shaft?? I'm aware of the tooth to line it up..it just doesn't seem to fit back on. Part numbers are correct
I'm not sure brother, if the parts are correct then I don't have any suggestions for you. Sorry.
Having the same issue you did, brand new Polaris oem shift shaft and oem bell crank won’t fit together? Did you find out that they need to be pressed together? Thanks!
Thanks for shareing
What size this spring?
Sorry man, I don't know.
Should have shown how gears came off an back on
Next time.
I have a Polaris 500 Magnum, and ever time I have it in gear, I can go so far and it will slip out of gear, we changed the shifter, and the rods aswell. We are not sure what is going on...
Immolation Liquidation any lunch figuring it out? I have a 500 scrambler with same prob
Clinton Hemphill nope. Still can’t figure it out
hi i replaced the spring in the gear selector housing and my ranger 500 is all good now.

Idle your engine down to 600-800 RPMs with the screw that has the string on it on the side of your carburetor. Most peoples ATV with your problems are at about 1200 and they just keep grinding that U on that fork more the more times they push on that shifter with it idled up too high.
