RZR 170 Transmission Rebuild
There's not much info online about the Polaris RZR 170 transmission. My kid busted his on a hill about 14 miles back in St Paul, VA. Here you can see a small portion of the rebuild that I had to do. Hope this helps some others. If your not good mechanically this undertaking may require a knowledgeable friend or a dealer (ouch). But it's honestly not bad to do. Parts from Babbitts...

Great video Clint. My son loves his little 170 and all us DIY dads out there appreciate your time. Hope you and little Clint are doing well!
Thanks for taking the time to make this helpful video.

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video. I just got mine apart and the exact same thing has happened.
What size is the Allen key on the transmission detent bolt?
It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I put it down so the oil could flow into the bearing
Great video, thank you!

Yep, got it all taken apart and then got stuck when it was time to go back together
Wish I could see which spacer you are referencing. Unfortunately this was several years ago when I did this rebuilding process so I can't really remember every part.
Hey Clint Great video!! I’m having an issue after pulling my transmission to inspect it.... after putting it back together, it goes into both forward and reverse but sometimes it’s hard to get to come out of either gear? Any idea? It even broke one of the cables

That's a tough one, I'd venture to say something on the inside dealing with the shift fork has to be in a bind. Maybe need to pull it back out, run through the tear down/rebuild again and see if there's anything bent also. Good luck with it!
On the placement of the needle bearing which way does the oil hole go up or down i am doin the exact same repair for a buddy
I am rebuilding my sons and there is a round spacer thing I don’t know where it goes. It fits on the shaft for the gears that go near where it all goes to the sprocket. Can you help? The manual don’t show where it goes
Hello! what do you think could be the reason: under load, gears begin to crack! how to fix it?
saved yourself a bunch of money doing the job your self. need some more video's
What was the number for the needle bearing?
Do all the bearings need to be pressed in.

I'm 99% sure that didn't use my press for anything, just used some grease and tapped them in with a small rubber mallet. I'd be afraid to press them, the housing is thin in several places and may crack if you're not really careful. Good luck on your rebuild, hope this helped...
here's the bearings, the cross reference numvers, Polaris part numbers and Polaris prices. JNS RNA-NA 4905 (Needle Bearing), Polaris part # 0452358, $65.59 TPI 6302, Polaris part # 0452347, $26.23 TPI 6004, Polaris part # 0452346, $26.23 TPI 6205, Polaris part # 0454550, $17.21 I got my bearings from Kingsport Armature and Electric Co in Kingsport, TN for much less than through Polaris. 8 months in and more countless hours on the machine, good as new!
The rear axle shaft got a slight bend, which caused the chain to put too much tension on the transmission output gear and tracked the aluminum housing while we were on a trail ride. The housing splitting caused the gears to strip. So it also filled with water, mud and such which destroyed the bearings.
