hey hase any body had a problem with there a.t.o.transmision by pulling somthing big
or it just failed on you because of the belt
sleping

 

What are you asking exactly?... Transmission failure I.E. the gearbox? Or are you asking if the belt has failed because of trying to pull to heavy of a load and the belt started to slip and burn?...

 

NO. I've never had a problem like that. If the belt does slip it would be operator error, because the clutch is not adjusted properly to handle the load it is required to haul. The pvt can be adjusted in many, many ways, slipping and burning belts are the problem of misuse and ignorance, which explains a lot.

Never had a hint of trouble, not even once. Pulled out a really stuck Kawasaki with my girlfriend on after 6 hours of playing in the mud, it never skipped a beat. Not once have I ever experienced any belt troubles or tranny troubles. They are simply non existent on my Polaris, or any that I ride with.

 

Have to agree 100% with both Jack and XEpathfinder. They hit it bang on.

The gearbox on the Polaris is dead simple. It simply provides forward/reverse/low shifting. The belt and clutches do all the in-motion shifting.

This belt/clutch system has been around since the dawn of time in snowmobiles and other machinery. It is extremely reliable.

No problems in the group I ride with, ever. Never even replaced a belt on any of the machines (SP500s).
