 Let me show you what this bad boy can do. Welcome to another episode of Titanium and Garage and today we're going to go over did I get screwed or not. So I bought this 2009 Sportsman 800X2 knowing the transmission was bad. I also followed a couple other issues with it and if you've seen my previous videos you know what I'm talking about. About me, I like to roll a dice and gamble once in a while because sometimes you get lucky. So I bought this and the guy said that there was an issue with the transmission. It's probably going to need to get replaced. So in my mind I'm thinking okay with what I pay for this it might be a $300 part if I rebuild the transmission or it could be $1100 depending on what the issues are. So me being me you know I'm a little bit of a gambler I rolled the dice. Hope for the best and let me show you what I found. Alright so this thing came with turf mode and here's a warning to you guys if you have an ATV with turf mode or even a UTV for that matter I see a lot of guys that just drive in turf mode meaning the center of the transmission disengages one axle from the other so only one axle spinning the other axle is freewheeling so if you drive on grass you don't tear up your lawn. Well a lot of guys they drive in turf mode constantly and that puts a lot of pressure on one axle which would be this one. So watch what happens when I spin this wheel and watch this. So immediately I thought okay well there's got to be an issue with the transmission I did some research and on a whim I thought well maybe it's the splines on the axle shaft that are worn but I highly doubted it. So got this lucid ready only to show you guys what I found out pull it up if you got to remove your axle shafts a lot of times I use a screwdriver this came right out now watch what happens when I put it in slightly both axles spin so I got damn lucky so I'll show you the difference between the splines but yeah it turned out it was just the axle shaft $300 to $1,100 part versus a $69 part I'd say I got pretty damn lucky so I'm gonna go ahead rip this apart I had it apart once before so I could find out what was going on I just want to take this off so that's out of the way it'll be a lot easier to put the axles shafts in place so 2009 I'm actually liking these they don't have them stick with bushings like the older ones have pull that out I already greased up the wheel bearing here pull that out and I ordered a new axle shaft and I'm gonna show you the difference between the two in about a minute here all right well I hope that's focusing in on for you guys so these splines are really good got some good grooves this is a used came off a 2007 this one they're completely rounded off so that's where I got lucky and I've never come across this I don't know why if you were in turf mode it would put so much pressure on that axle that that axle shaft that would actually burn up the splines my only thought is this thing was probably used on a farm and the guy was doing some towing he did have a plow mounted to the front of this I mean did he have it in turf mode while he was plowing if he did he was an idiot I don't know I don't know what the cause is but I'm gonna go ahead throw that back in and this unit should be good to go while you're at it put some anti-seize on the threads you hear about those guys that no matter what they do they can't get these that rear axle shafts off you hear her stories oh they hook it up to their truck and try to pull it off I actually use an air hammer on mine get them off of through that stubborn air hammer and two screwdrivers and pop it off got that good lubed up throw this in place so it's in place look at that problem solve put this back together I think I'm gonna grab a little octet for that too tight should only be torqued on to 30 foot-pounds I think gun is a little bit a little bit too excessive this time find my cotter pin put that in the boot on and the reason I have the rear brakes hanging here actually on both sides is I'm gonna replace the brake pads while I got this far apart I'm gonna go ahead grease everything up where all the grease arches are I'm liking that not spinning or shimming or anything like it was before so it's not the transmission gotta love it haha sweet deal so I bought that used part off eBay I think I paid 54 bucks I also went through and cleaned all the fuel injection system replace the starter and replace spark plugs so all in all I've got 110 bucks into this thing yeah I know these x2's sell for good money so if you like the video hit the thumbs up if you haven't subscribed I got a lot of new subscribers hope you've seen my 300 plus videos I got in my channel oh and by the way just because somebody tells you your transmission shot doesn't necessarily mean it's shot so like I said once again I like to roll a dice things could have went south I could have ended up spending $1,100 on this unit but I didn't so catch you guys on next video and like always till next time
