I have a 2012 Polaris sportsman 800 EFI. It is very stiff and hard to move to and gear Neutral, High, Low and Park. Its very stiff and hard to shift to all of them. Its hard when its off and when its running there is no change either way. I don't know what the problem is.

My 2005 Polaris sportsman 700 efi has a shift lever problem. It says in low where the high position should be. is it stripped or is there a way to adjust it?

your shift linkage could be out of adjustment. the two rods that run to your transmission. try disconnecting one and see if it shift *(without the engine running), then do the same thing for the other. if it shift into high without the low gear shift linkage disconnected, then they are out of adjustment.

If you have a primary and secondary clutch, and your ATV still fails to move with proof that they are working, my best advice would be to check the pilot shaft and the gears for excessive wear. Even in new products, the case of excessive wear can be well known, and it would be wise to take it back to the dealer if you continue to have the problem.

Atv transmission

sounds like the connecting rod on the crankshaft.
i would inspect the primary clutch first before an engine teardown. Sometimes the engine shifts on the engine mounts and the clutch hits the cover, also check to make sure belt is not slapping around in cover.

remember on early models there was a safety pin that had to be held to switch to reverse,,,your 500 does this automatically so check for safety pin hookup. Could be brush or
