First off, welcome to the board!:bam:

 

I'm not good with formalities . I will be on here a lot, I can tell by my first week with this machine!

 

i can help you later tonight. i can run a search on the dealer site that will tell me what models had the same tranny as yours. check back later tonight and i should have an answer posted for you

 

hi blueline15 i'm having the same difficulty as fords18 and i was wondering if you can cross reference the dealer site 2 c what trannys will swap with a 93 scrambler 400 4x4. if you can do that 4 me that would be great thx.

 

Have you tried to adjust the shifter linkage? It might be that all is wrong. It's not uncommon that it needs adjusting.

 

Blueline,

I really appreciate the help. Thank you!

Atvjunkie,

I adjusted the linkage per the shop manual and I am still having the same issue. Also the trans leaks from every possible seal so I would have to remove it to replace all the seals. For the price I can get a used one its worth just swapping out and not having any downtime while I R&R the original trans.

 

I think that any 500 trans from an IRS sportsman will be the same through the 2000's

 

i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 1997 is the only year that used that exact gearcase. i know thats going to make your hunting a little difficult, but i triple checked and 1996 and 1998 sportsmans all have different gearcases. it seems each year they did something different to it.

if i can cross check any other part #'s for you between years, just let me know. sorry

 

Yes part numbers are different,transmissions are the same. A 96,97,98,99 trans will fit the 97. For example a 95 magnum trans a a 94 400l trans will have different part numbers . Are they the same? will they interchange? The answer is yes!
I'm not looking at numbers but the real parts. There are several makes and models that will interchange 96-99. Looks like 99 will be your last year due to the speedometer drive. Ex: Sportsman 335, Explorer 500, Sportsman 500. These transmissions are plentiful on ebay.

 

My question would be is a trans from say a 335 as strong as the 500 trans, would the internals be the same?[/QUOTE]
Yep the internals are the exact same..

1997 Polaris Sportsman Transmission

Does anyone know whether a transmission from a 1996 Sportsman, 1341189, will work in a 1997 Sportsman 500 4X4? They look the same but I can't find any cross reference, welcome to the wonderful world of Polaris. Thanks in advance.

 

Will any of the sportsman transmission fit a 2010 ranger 800??

 

I have 1996/2001 sportsman someone took two machines made one the body the engine is off a 2001 but the trans and frame are 1996 my wiring harness is a 2001 I think . But here’s my question my trans has a chain tensioner that is broken and I can’t find it anywhere it says it’s a discontinued part but I found a 2003 trans that has the updated parts besides the speedometer what would be different. Also does anybody know were I can get the tensioner for that transmission

 

Pics? If you have the factory part number, ebay. Any sportsman trans from 97 to whenever they switched to having a park option would be the same.
