Replacing the Chain in the Transmission

[@mkuehn5450]

i'm glad you did, so i don't have to. all i have to think about is under throw in the linkage (not far enough) BUT, i have the hi - low. thanks for the warning. changed fluid when i first got it, murky, but no disco sparkles. looks like the chain is a wear item. Thanks to you, i'll probably step up the fluid change intervals, can i have your opinion on alternate fluids to OEM?

Lucac Chain case lube is an alternative that I have used.

excellent and very informative video.

I agree with that finger for him I hope he was watching🤣

What causes the characteristic polaris whine in the transmission?

[@MrFixit1]

Even though it's called a "silent" chain it does make some noise. So I would say it's the chain whining.

Hey Mr.fixit do you by chance know of a video or have one for the type 2 transmission(high/low/reverse I think that's the 2 if I remember). I'm about to have to take my transmission apart for the 2nd time this year. I replaced my internals with a set of new to me internals off the evil bay and its been a couple months and I thought my transmission locked. I took my shift linkage off and it will shift(with some persuasion)but the dip sticks showing a metal smoothie. I think this time im going to use the least worn parts of the 2 internals I have and get all new bearings. Only videos I've found has a ton of skiping around and video quality makes it hard to see what is actually shoen lol.

I don't have a video and I don't know of a video that I could recommend. If you go on Face Book look up this group and join. facebook.com/groups/370139450327989 . Polaris 400 2-STROKE ATV's Parts and tech. They have manuals and lots of knowledgeable people.

@@MrFixit1 Thank you I got the haynes manual but its a little general. I'm hoping this time will be the last time pulling it apart for a while!
