What is the transmission fluid to be used with this quad?  The manual says the following, but it appears to be NLA and I can't find a clear answer on what to use from my searches.  The manual says the following:

 

Specified Lubricant:
Polaris Premium Synthetic Gearcase Lubricant
PN 2871477 (Gallon) PN 2871478 (12 oz..)

Got this off a Polaris forum

The specified juice is Polaris Premium Synthetic Gearcase Lubricant PN 2871477 (Gallon) PN 2871478 (12 oz..) Capacity: . . . . At change: Approx. 20 oz.

You could use ATF, Harley high shock synthetic transmission oil, Bel Ray Big Twin transmission lube, (my favorite) Honda two stroke transmission oil or any JASO rated 5w20 through 20w50 multi grade engine oil approved for use in motorcycles that lube the transmission with the same oil as the engine.

I don't like the sound of that advice Dave.. Transmission fluid is nothing like engine or gear oil.. Gear oils and engine oils are two totally different things too..

      O3 sat a while. Engine is running fine. I got it into neutral, did some general tune-up and cleaning then pulled the shifter pedal up and it locked up and will not release into neutral again.  Does anyone have experience with this problem?  Thanks for looking and any help.

      Hi 
      Is looking for a quad to pull a flail mower as my first priority, but also a bit of fun. 
      So its going to be pulling a flail mower on high grass / weed on a bumpy field at pretty low speed. 
      My budget is not high, so is mostly looking at a old Yamaha Kodiak 400cc / Suzuki Eiger 400cc or similar. 
      What machine would you recommend  ?  - Really want a solid machine since I am no mechanic but can perform a early service myself.

      Hi everyone and thanks for reading. 
      My husband and me are getting ready to host the 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground. The first one (last year) went pretty well with about 20 quads attending and have to say, it was a smaller group, but they made up for their size with the large interest in partying and there was plenty of nudity as the Saturday night went on. 
      We have decided to host another one this summer, but we are looking for some fun (but safe) riding events. Our grounds are almost all flat and remember we are a nudist campground so many of us are bare as* naked so "slow ride" events would be the best. 
      Give us your thoughts and ideas and feel free to ask us anything you would like, and we will answer right here in the thread. 
      Thanks for your help and ride safe. 
      BTW, let us know what "anything goes" means for this thread section.

      Hi guys, I was given a 2000 Honda Recon fourtrax 250 (I think that's the full name lol). The previous owner had it sitting for a while before I got it. It sat for another few years in my ownership. I got it up and going on its first test drive today!! I was wondering where everyone buys their parts from?  Coming from the car community, we have sites like RockAuto and many more. Anything like that for quads? Also would like to be pointed in a direction, if possible, for plastics. I am missing a few and would like to have it complete. I appreciate any input!

      Good morning, I am new to the forum. I'm 75 years old and love getting ATVs back to usable condition. I particularly like the 2006-2009 Arctic Cat 250 Utility. I currently own 6. The 2006 I am working on only has reverse and low gear. The "drive shaft" in the transmission is completely stripped where the high gear would mesh. Has anyone on here replaced the shaft. I'm told I have to split the case. I was hoping that someone on here could let me know how hard it will be. I already have it stripped down to where the shaft coming in from the clutch side is the only thing left. I was hoping I could just remove the driven clutch and drive it out from there. Directions say different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
