I've been waiting for this myself. Sub'd

 

Already read a post some where stating that some guys had already swapped in a 1000 diff into a 900. Said it required some minor fab work but it did fit. The diff is said to be 80% stronger than the 900 diff. I believe it is a slight different gear ratio. I am speculating that Polaris changed the diff ratio slightly to engage the AWD faster and change the scrub/push tracking on the 1000, as all the marking claims.

 

Do you have a link where you read this??

 

Someone posted the spec's in this thread ........

Xp1000 diff advantages over xp900

This #1333112 unit comes from the factory with a billet aluminum CNC machined and hard-coated 7075-T6 alloy (24-roller) roller cage.
The #1333112 unit has an absolutely massive ring and pinion set !!
Also, the #1333112 units now have a new stronger design 6-finger armature plate.
This #1333112 unit has the same input spline and same output splines as all of the RZR800 and RZR 900XP differentials.

 

Will it work in a 900 is the question.... The same spline size and count sounds good now if we could figure out the width and hight.

 

It has been done by a group called 42copperhead on Facebook, they are going to post a vid with how-to in a few days, I'll share it here if it doesn't show up by then

 

Ya that was my photo that travis (42copperhead) shared. A buddy of ours (sandman on here) installed xp1000 diff in his xp4. We'll see how
It does this weekend. Only thought is he may need forward a-arms.

 

Sounds good thanks for the update!!

subscribed! I have a customer's 900 in the shop right now that needs a diff- He would be a perfect candidate for this swap- and he's willing!

 

Look on rzr life facebook page - not posting photos here.

 

Just destroyed my lower left front A-Arm. Does a 900 XP A-arm fit a 1000 XP?

 

NO
