Default Polaris Automatic Drive System

Hi
I was thinking, and I was asking myself if it would be possible to install a Manual Drive System, instead of the Automatic System the Polaris Sportsman 500 X2 EFI has!
Can you give me an answer about this matter?
My best greetings

Not going to happen without a lot of R&D, engineering and fabrication. The only "easy" way to do it would be to transplant an entire engine and transmission from another ATV.

No i would take more then r@d.Basically to do it like in sport quads you would have to reengineer the entire motor.Because sport quads are a combo engine,transmission not like our polaris's where they are separate.

I think the guy meant with a hand clutch. A true manual.

I think Honda is semi-auto with just a foot shift.

AC 500,400 King Quad,500 Foreman,420 Rancher and 400 Bigbear are the last of the manuals.

A full manual with a hand clutch would be one tiring thing to ride all day long on a technical trail.
