1996 Polaris Classic chaincase reverse gear installation

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a step by step procedure when you are installing the reverse gears in a 1996 Polaris chaincase. I did forget the two washers that go on the intermediate gears, so I had to disassemble and fix it.

    What causes the actual reverse, is the fact that the outside pinion gear is turning the outside (reverse) gear, making the sled go in reverse because gear-on-gear creates a reverse effect, whereas gears driven by a chain or belt, retain the same direction of the source. When the reverse gear is on the outside position (reverse engaged) the spline collar stays with the reverse gear, so the main gear is still turning but not connected to the drive, it's the reverse gear doing the work at this point. Check at around 12:10 - 12:15, you can clearly see the spline shaft coming out, "sticking" with the reverse gear, basically no longer has an effect on the main gear. It's a rather clever invention come to think of it. That's my story and I am sticking to it. I just realized all of this watching your video, never knew how it worked beforehand; so thank you!!

    I just did one of these reverse chain cases blind, pretty straight forward if you take your time. But now I'm watching some videos. I just pushed that spring in by hand using a deep well socket with a bolt inside of the socket to start the bolt in there. Problem I'm having now is fork location and adjustment, and I think I'm missing a clip that holds the rod onto the fork. Buddy said reverse never worked since he got it and he fried the chain.

    The washers were there, this sled originally came from the factory with reverse and the guy I bought off of took the reverse gears out, for some reason, and made it just a forward drive. So the washers were still there from the original reverse setup. I don't know if a sled that did not come with reverse has those washers or not, but they are needed for the reverse gear setup to work. Hope this helps.

    There is a chain adjuster on the front side of the chain case that has a roller that rides against the chain with a bolt that adjusts the tension by turning it in or out. I usually like my chain to have just a little slack, just don't tighten the adjuster to the point the chain is tight with no slack. Hope this helps.

    Do not use gear oil it's way too thick for cold weather running, you can find chaincase oil at your Polaris dealer or I use Amsoil chaincase oil and pour your oil in the dipstick hole and it doesn't take much, but just add a little and keep checking it with your dipstick until you show full on your dipstick.

He ran the chaincase dry and it tied up the chain, he took it to a local fix-it guy and the guy told him the gears were shot so he replaced everything with the cheaper forward gear setup but kept all the reverse gears and hardware. There was nothing wrong with the gears it just needed a new chain. So I won on that deal. I use Amsoil synthetic snowmobile gear oil.

    This job is a pain in the ass if your sled has CRC front suspension. Note the trailing arms on this sled are way out from the centerline of the chassis. Not so on CRC sleds. The trailing arms are mounted much closer and make it very tight between the case and nosepan. Worse yet is doing chaincase work on sleds with 4 driver driveshafts. Also, non-factory equipped with reverse sleds equipped with the HYVO chain won’t have washers behind the sprockets. If the bearings have never been replaced, always say f-it and replace the bearings seals. And use sealed bearings because on open bearings, there is only a seal stopping the oil from running out if the shit hits the fan on a trail. Lastly, there are seal sleeves and o-rings on the jack shaft and driveshaft. Always check the sleeves and replace the o-rings with the new o-rings facing out. The sleeves have a knife edge that faces inwards. If the sleeves are hosed, your new chaincase bearing oil sleeves ain’t going to last very long.

My chain was 66 links long and 13wide. The OEM size says it should be 64 links long and 13 wide. Not sure which to get since the one I had on it was 66long.

    Hi Ken ,When I was checking the chain case oil on the classic that I just bought the dipstick was really dry and black. The sled only has 85 miles on it. That's authentic as far as I can tell. I wonder if the oil slowly seeped out while sitting for almost 18 years ? There was some metal filings on the magnet on the dipstick to . Any idea why the oil level would be so low and black ? Mark

    Boy, I don't know for sure, maybe the sled has more miles than it reads. I know mine showed black, and of course I changed all that when I installed the reverse gear. I use Amsoil chaincase lube and I still have a small leak that needs addressed, but I would change it out and add fresh oil and just keep an eye on it. If it leaks you'll see a puddle under your sled. Sounds like a brand new sled if the miles are correct.

The track is brand new and there is absolutely no wear on the sliders,seat,hand grips,carbides etc. My check list was two pages long ! There was no signs of oil leaking anywhere.

    Wow, that sounds like quite a find Mark. I don't think I would be afraid of too much, the only area that might be concerning is the cylinders. The pistons probably took a set on the cylinders, a compression test would be something to think about, but really it sounds like a great deal. I think I'd lube up the cylinders with some two-cycle oil or fogging oil, and let her idle for a while, let it kinda' break in if you know what I mean. As far as no oil on the bearing, that is probably from setting, it just drained off. Maybe give it a squirt or two of some oil before engaging the drive system. Also it would be good to inspect the clutches. I'm sure you're going to need to clean the carbs up too. Replacing fuel and oil lines might be in order also.

They tell me the engine was fogged and they are running fresh gas with 50:1 mix cause it still hasn't even finished it's break in period.I did a compression test and it was 115 and 120 the engine was just warm cause it ran for a few minutes. I don't think the rings are seated properly yet. I might pull the head off just to check the cylinders ? The owners son has been tinkering with it. I wish he had just left it alone now I don't know what he has done right or wrong. Thanks for your advice.

I'm with you with having someone else doing some tinkering, unless they're qualified or know their stuff, but just go over it and give her a thorough check up and she'll be good to go. This is starting to be a good time of the year to sell sleds, people are thinking winter and want to get a sled before the snow flies. The profit on the Indy Lite will help pay for the new one too!

    snowking55 - is there you can think of when putting the chain case cover and lever mechanism back on that could be messed up where after everything is installed that the reverse lever does not appear to move the gear out? I put the gears together correctly as far as I can tell, and your video helped confirm that I did so as well. However, when I install the case cover (washer on the reverse gear is in place) I don't appear to get any movement at all in the lever mechanism that is designed to pull out the reverse gear. I actually tried to loosen up the bolt that is holding that spring in that is in your last shown install step thinking that maybe this spring mechanism was not designed to be tightened all the way to the drive shaft mechanism, and the spring was just too strong when compressed that much to be pulled out by the reverse lever but did not work either. Looking at your video it appears you also agree that the bolt should tightened all the way down to the shaft. I also made sure that the reverse arm goes into the slots of the larger reverse as you also described in your video. I have uninstalled and in-reinstalled this thing about 8 times now and nothing seems to matter. I can move the reverse lever in and out but there seems to be enough play where it does not really seem to be moving the gear on the reverse mechanism to any significant degree to engage reverese. This is on a 2001 Indy which looked identical to what yours is BTW.

    Boy I don't know for sure what your problem may be, but I know with mine the guy that had it before me had taken out the reverse setup and in order for the shifting mechanism to stay free from the gears had zip tied it in place. But what really confused me was he had taken the shifter arm apart and re-positioned it in the shifter fork. So what I'm trying to say is look at the position of your arm in comparison to the fork, are they at a right angle to each other? Take a look at some other videos to see if your fork is in the right position. Here is one that shows the fork and shifter lever: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGek2s2Ona7AnKQ.html. Hope this helps, it's hard to diagnose without being there.

    Yes you can, but you have to purchase the large gear that drives your track and a new chain. Then you have to tie up your shift mechanism in the chaincase to get it out of the way. This is what was done to mine when I bought it, but fortunately the guy included all the old reverse parts and I converted it back. There might be another way, but I'm not familiar with any other conversion.

    Sounds like you may need to adjust the chain in the chain case. Mine will make a clunk when shifting from forward to reverse and back again. Just don't give it a lot of gas when making the change.

    It came with the sled. It originally had a reverse in it from the factory, but the guy I bought it off of decided to replace it with a straight forward drive. But he saved all the original parts and I just had to figure out how it went together. I would think it would be the same as long as it was around a "96.

    You might try re-clocking your shifting fork. When you remove your chaincase cover the shifting fork is mounted to it, you can pull that fork off and turn it a notch on its mounting shaft and give that a try. Don't know for sure unless I see it, sorry.

    Well I can't remember, but if I would have to guess I didn't. I don't ride tons of miles, so since I made this video 4 years ago, I'd say I've put on 5 to 6 hundred miles and that bolt has never given me a problem. Not saying it won't the next ride, so I guess that's something to check if that bolt has worked itself loose.

    It's pretty easy, the chain tensioner is the arm with the roller on it and there is a bolt the threads into the side of the chaincase that puts tension on the arm. You just tighten it until there is very little slack in the chain and your done. Tighten the locking nut on the bolt and check it again after some miles, because the new chain will stretch, and adjust by tightening the bolt again.

    You will find that there will be "tight spots" and "loose spots" when tightening the chain. Make sure that you bring the chain to one of the tight spots before setting the tension. If you tighten it down to tension on a "loose spot" the chain will be much too tight in other spots. Even though the chain was made in a factory by machine it can still only get so perfect. The chain alone has over 230 pieces!
