Hi everybody , this is my first post and I have found a lot of useful info on here so far.

The problem I'm having with my 01 Scrambler 500, is it doesnt want to stay in H . It stays in R just fine. I have searched and found out that the problem is most likely the Engagement dog and or the shift fork that needs replaced. I have adj.,d the shift rod and that didnt work so I'm going to ceck the fluid today but I have a feeling thats not the problem.

So who has done this and how hard is it ? Is there any specail tools that are needed ?

Thanks

Ok I finaly got the primary clutch puller and working on getting the trans out. Now the big question is HOW do you get it out ? Everything is all unbolted and I cant seem to get it out. The only thing still connected is the front driveshaft and that looks like it will just slide out. Does the swingarm need to come off ? If anyone has an easier way I'd be willing to pm you my # so I can get this fixed.

Thanks

the swingarm does not need to come out but you need to remove one bushing.have it jacked up as not to bend the other.PM if you have other questions.i have the polaris book.

I took the swingarm off. Put a piece of oversided wood between the frame on top and spread the frame just a little. The tran goes in much easier with the frame spead.
