Since this is becoming a regular thing I'm keeping track so I can do it faster next time !?

This is the second time it's busted on a New Years dune trip. I don't think the problem lies with the tranny, I think it's a New Years thing. I'm staying home next year.......

It's 100% for now. Until the next time.......

 

wow that is so cool how much money in total parts did you need for the 02 trannie i want to do it but i dont really have experience with this stuff do you think i can get a service manual and do it myself???

 

Which parts were replaced. You already had the conversion so only 1 or 2 gears? Gaskets, O ring? Clips etc?

 

This time I just had to replace the 2nd gear pinion and oil pump gear. The rest of the cost was gaskets (they are expensive), some O-rings, copper washers, cir-clips etc....



Raptorboy,

The complete 01-to-02 conversion parts cost me $540 last year. I did the labor.

The service manual can be found at Raptor manual

and a complete tranny swap guide (step-by-step instuctions) is on www.raptortranny.com

Go for it !!

 

So Fisher are you still undecided on whether to keep the rappy or not? Glad you got her back together. MAN, that was a pretty fast turn around! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Thats a good time Fisher, Mine took me 3 months to the day! but I was doing other things [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Yep - worked out pretty good. I needed to get it finished quick cause we are in the middle of dune season out here and there are still 3-4 trips on the schedule !! Luckily, I had the time.

Anybody know the dealer "shop time" or time it's supposed to take by the book ?

Bryan, I'll be keeping her for another year but have decided to ride it mostly in the dunes and night rides and not ride it as hard as I would like to - I'll be focusing on the two wheeler for the kooky stuff (if I ever learn to ride it) ??

 

My tranny repair was done by Alba. They charged me 12 hours labor. I dropped the quad off and picked it back up. I've since had the whole motor apart and will do all repairs myself from then on.

 

Goodluck with the new trannies. Maybe you will have more fun drinking beer at the house next New Years instead of breaking the tranny on your Raptor.

 

Raptor trannies 01 or 02.................junk!!!
