Polaris 400 Shifter Repair

[@thomasimmesberger2644]

Love the video buddy. Love how it’s non-edited . Love to see it’s not only me with things flying all over and losing parts to what I call The Land Of Make-believe.

[@MrFixit1]

Just keeping it real. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the video I had to use your method of disassembly, my ole Polaris shifter stuck and was a mess. lots of rust and water. after watching your video i was able to correct my shifter thanks

[@louiscormier12]

Service manual calls for 0W-40 to cover half of the pins - not stuffing all that grease in it.

[@MrFixit1]

Make sure you replace the o-rings on the actuator shafts or it will leak out.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

@@MrFixit1 I did my O-rings and filled it to spec with oil and it still leaks, it might be getting grease down the line as well.

[@berad187]

I had gone through the same problem with my 94 Polaris like yours I found out it was all rusty inside the shifter box I had to clean it out and added gear oil in it and did what I can Make sure all the springs and ball bearings was all moving

[@MrAlternation]

4:30 how far did you need to drill? i already made a good little hole. but when i use my punch to punch out the little thing, its not working.

[@MrFixit1]

I'd say it was 3/16 or a 1/4 inch or so. You will know because you will feel the difference between the aluminum and the hardened steel pin. But this was a few years ago now so my memory is a bit faded. Good luck.

[@MrAlternation]

@@MrFixit1 thanks

[@MrAlternation]

@@MrFixit1 yeah its not coming out man.

[@chrisC5339]

Good job, not looking forward to taking mine apart, doesn't shift until exhaust, beside the shifter, warms it up in colder weather, Ontario, Canada

[@MrFixit1]

Too cold for me Friend! Haha

[@brucegreen1016]

hey, nice repair job on the shifter, i was wondering what's in the plastic cup to harden the pins, my shifter is acting up now from plowing snow, i just might need to do a tear down soon

[@MrFixit1]

Used engine oil. Thanks for watching.

[@bustersmith5569]

Would a 1993 trans be different ?? Looks the very same as yours ,,

[@MrFixit1]

Should be the same Mine is an EZ shift type 3

[@jandeband]

Ive got a sloppy shifter, on my recently acquired , 99 sportsman 500, easy fix, rebuild or replace ?

[@MrFixit1]

Not a lot you can do to fix it. Best to replace it. The pin that runs through the ball on the lever may be broken or loose. I would check that.

[@garyjohn316]

Mr fix it, how in the hell did you get the 2 linkage rods off the shifter?? Thanks!

[@MrFixit1]

They were held in by a bolt and nut. 7/16 I believe.

[@MrAlternation]

I had to weld a bot onto mine so i can break the years of rust. posting a video soon .

[@lolprice6190]

Maybe put a grease nipple in the taped hole

[@MrFixit1]

the threaded hole is blocked by the pin.

[@johnnybarrett7612]

Imagine that. Working on polaris about like owning a harley

[@MrFixit1]

ha ha Polaris is the Harley of the ATV world for sure.
