Yup; mine same deal - Mines stuck in low forward now. Shifter fork stuck on trans : Thanks fer your efforts. Make sure battery is good at all times . Can cause speedo to go out. Everything goes through speedo . They are $400.00 . Thank you sir -
I have been banging my head against a wall with a finicky reverse gear on my 96 sportsman. I've done all the adjustments on the reverse shifter rods and periodically I can't get into reverse without a bunch of finaggling the shifter. Now I will take the shifter apart and see if maybe I have the same situation or a bent rod in there. Hope this puts this issue to bed. Thanks.
Great video, I just wish you showed the shifter going back together. I’m about to change my boot and I thought I’d give it a service while I’m at it. Is the housing supposed to be full of oil? My manual says it’s lightly greased.
I took mine apart and it was packed with grease, I have a 2000 Polaris 500. I like the grease versus oil, simply because of the gaskets and o-rings that leak. grease stays.
Well guess I commented a little too soon. You called it a caliper at the end. Woops. Wish mine was that easy. Looking like maybe the bores in the shifter box. Worn oval. The shafts are moving sideways making too much space between them. Then shifter just jamming it all up. Have to take it off and look a little closer
In the service repair manual that says fill the selector box with Polaris 0w 40 All Season synthetic motor oil approximately 1 oz do not overfill too much oil could cause the selector to hydraulic lock be sure the selector box is level when adding oil
#2 phillips screw driver worked for me… You are a Rock Star my friend !!!

You are a genius. Thanks for making this video to save me hundreds of dollars.
I have a broken pin and the plastic ball is broken as well. Does anyone no where to find that part?
Thank you sir! Helped me a ton!
I have the same shifter box as you, but i can’t get it back in reverse. It says R on the speedometer, but it’s in neutral! Any thoughts?
I'm having this problem on a 96 400 xpress I think this is the problem it's very sloppy for now

What kind of fluid goes inside that shifter Box?

Dude, that's called a caliper. Not a measure wrench....LOL
