now is this all the parts to fix it? mine just started doin it today!!! and can some one piont me to some more info that maybe someone posted from doin it there self. thanks

 

Holy Crap!

 

i just rebuilt one in a friends two weeks ago. a washer on the gear set that rides against a machined lip on the shaft breaks allowing excessive slack to build up between gears allowing it to jump out of gear.

 

here is a pic....not a challenging task to do but very time consuming

 

I've heard about this 'issue'.


Forever and a day, I check for the 'sound or feeling' that the unit is engaged before stepping on the throttle. Perhaps I've been just 'skating' by ? I also make sure that the rpm is low enough to ensure proper 'shifting'. This has been a smidge problematic at times, especially when climbing a hill, or going down a hill. I've noticed that if the brake is not depressed to the max that there will be noise when droping down from high to low on a grade. On occasion I have had to roll back a bit and have found that the grinding is not as bad.

Hummmmmm.... thanks again for the info.. I've advised the powers that be 'ie, husband' <grin>

i just checked my hours and mileage on my march 09 built 09 rzr-s 1380 miles at 106 hours..no problems,,,same belt, no issues ever. .....sofar.....

 

After reading this thread im sure my trans is damaged.when driving in deep snow awd/low the trans pops out of gear every 10 min or so.Its happend on my last two trips.problem doesnt seem to show up on dunes.must be excesse heat build up when pushing snow.thankfuly I have extended warr.160hrs and aprox 2200 miles on 09s

 

We are REALLY easy on our stuff and the tranny grenaded with no abuse.
It just puked.

So,, luck of the draw perhaps,, flip a coin if'll bite you on the azz too.

Damn I hate breaking down in the dunes.
Carry a good tow strap.

 

Put me on the list. The tranny on mine took a nose dive at Glamis this past week. It's in the shop now. (still under factory too)

 

I'm really sorry to hear about everyones trans problems, and just too add a little fuel to the Fire!!!

For all of you, this is NOT an Isolated Problem. Its a known Defect in the Spicer Trans. That they have known about for awhile.

If you have a Polaris rzr 2 seater or 4 seater, built prior than the dated fix!
It will happen, your not a lucky one. Its just a matter of time.

If you don't beleive me.....Do A Little Research for your own!!!!

The saga of my Polaris Lemon

Good Luck.

PS- I Love my RZR, But not happy with the Quality,or Customer Service of Polaris.....It makes me ashamed it has a Built in AMERICA Sticker on the Back of IT. :rm_thumbdown:

 

My 2010 was built in January of 2010. I have beaten the crap out of it and so far, no problems at all, zip, zero, nada.

 

I'm a unhappy owner of the new 2011 RZR S. Less than 15 hours, 176 miles, have not even made my first payment and.....transmission problems. Yep. Dealer has had it for the warranty work now for 36 days, my parts are on backorder and they don't know when it will be fixed. Last Polaris I will ever own. To invest $14k in a machine that breaks down with such a major problem within the first month. Don't think I want to take this road again. However, now that I have pretty much spent all that I had on this one....can't afford anything else at the moment. So I'm stuck with it for a while....or the dealer is.

 

Hi Crystal..... Do you have anything to report on your machine? Would like to hear back exactly what the cause way and how your fix went. First I've heard of any transmission problems with an '11. Thanks.

1 post and has not been back since......Hummm.

 

Hang in............... believe me, your not the only one that feels this way. If another sport option was available, I would be all over it. The Polaris BS of not fixing defective versions of parts is a bunch of $^%(#^%. But for now, its the best option I guess. Keep in mind even the expensive Mendeola trans. in sand cars need rebuilt often.

 

2010 4s manufactured 9/8/2010. Trans grenaded. Blew a hole in my casing. Dealer trying to say it is from putting it in park while you are still rolling. That was not the case for me. Furthermore, the dealer had (2) more in the shop with the same problem.

 

They say what parts failed and ventilated the cases?

They going to warranty?

 

They"ll have the rest pulled out on Tuesday. I'll post it when I find out. 4 flippin hours on it. One of the other ones in the shop has been there since 12/14. Still no tranny.

 

I just bought a new 2011 RZRs orange madness. Am I safe from this tranny stuff??

 

No. I know of at least on 2011 owner with transmission problems.

 

We have a 2010 Orange LE and have had no problems with our transmission at all. And I have run it pretty hard.

 

The fix is a quality fix

 

2010 Purple Thunder, no problems yet and as you can see in my avatar, I sure don't baby it.

 

my 2011 had tranny problems. I started a thread about it a while back

The problem is a plastic(?) gear inside the tranny that desigenerates over time, or real quick. Mine had the symptoms less than one month after purchase...this included a burning smell, and popping out of gear into neutral. Dealer(at the time) said it was fine..just drive it. So I drove it. Made sure that I cleared the gears everytime and the thing lasted until this past May when it ground out with a friend at the wheel. She had it towed back to camp, and I jumped in, and it drove just like usual. The tranmission got louder and louder over time. I drove the Hammers with a shot tranny, and it only popped out of gear once (down hill). Needless to say, it's on video...loud tranny sound and all... 6:59 into the video you can hear the grinding.

I guess I was just super lucky to keep it going. Clear the gears. Most important habbit.

 

mine did it and i have a 2011 RZR 4.....that blasted thrust washer wore out

 

i ride mine in high and had the same problem
2011 RZR 4

 

Well add me to the list, 220 hours an 800 miles an wont stay in low
