i have a 2000 polaris trailblazer and could not find the drain plug for the transmission , i went to the dealer & the mechanic already went home, and the salesman didnt know. also it seems to not have much power at all starting on a steep hill it just boggs down, it has a fresh engine and new tires . could this be the belt? i can hear it hit the cover every once in a while. how hard is it to change the belt? thanks for any info..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

The trans drain-plug is integrated in with the rear trans torque stop. On the left rear of the trans, you'll see a threaded bolt sticking out and contacting the frame. You loosen the locking nut, and back out the bolt. To re-install, back bolt out til it contacts the frame, then go 1/2 turn further. Lock down the locking nut, and refill trans. As I recall, it only holds about 11 oz. when filling from empty. Use the Polaris synthetic lube.

 

The bogging could be bad fuel, fuel vent line plugged, carb or a clogged dirty
air filter.

 

im pretty sure its not gas because it gets ridden frequently and gets fresh 91 octane fuel. it only bogs down bad at the bottom of steep hills, everywhere esle its flawless. thanks for info.
