Default 99 Xplorer not disengaging 4WD

I have a 99 Xplorer 300 4X4. It runs great except for sometimes after I have it in 4WD and I want to go back to 2WD, the front right wheel doesn't always want to come out. It seems if I stop, put it in reverse and back up a foot and then back into high it kicks out most of the time though. Sometimes it will kick out right away after I hit the button.

Would this be caused by low hub fluid or something?

The first place to start would be hub fluid - when is the last time it was changed?? Could be caused by dirty fluid. Use the Polaris Hub fluid or a good synthetic ATF, and if they are real dirty, change the fluid several times after short rides ("stirs up" the "grunge") to clean it up.

I can use syntetic ATF also? I bet that would be cheaper than anything from Polaris [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

As to the question of when it was last changed... your guess is as good as mine. I bought the machine about 5 months ago and havent done it yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Probably about time to change it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

What brands of synth ATF would you recommend? Or should I just go with the Polaris hub fluid?
