2009 550 XP transmission

Was out on the ice fishing this weekend. I hopped on and went to shift into reverse and there was no resistance on the shift lever. It just flops back and forth. I warmed it up in the morning and this happened about 20 minutes after I had started running it. I popped the plastics and the nut/bolt that connects to the linkage? and goes into the transmission? moves as it should when I move the lever. Luckily it was broken in high and I was able to get it off the ice no problem. Anyone have any idea what I broke in there and if it is going to cost a lot to fix? Sorry if i gave the wrong terminology. I am by far no mechanic.

New Guy Here

Finally joined after lurking for awhile. I've got a 2004 Sportsman 500HO that I am doing some work on. Replacing rear wheel bearings and new CV axles.

We'd hate to be on the other guys' team

We think Can-Am’s caption on this photo says it best, “Once you spot it, you’re probably too late.” That pretty much summarizes this bad to the bone militarized Can-Am Maverick X3 dubbed the Strike-X BFSIII X Edition. The project was a collaboration between Franklin Armory and RP Advanced Mobile Systems and was appropriately debuted at the 2018 SHOT show in Las Vegas Nevada.

2003 Trailblazer 250 Questions

Hi All,
I have never owned a Polaris so don't know much about the models and issues associated with them. My son is looking to upgrade to a larger machine and has been saving his money. He found a 2003 Trailblazer 250 that he is interested in but I don't know what to tell him about the bike.

They are asking 800$ CAD for the buggy but it needs a set of rings. We are pretty handy in the garage so i'm not worried about rebuilding the top end. Just wondering if this sounds like it is worth it? Anything I should know about this bike?

Any help or input would be appreciated.

More tools needed in tool kit

I’ve owned ski doo snowmobiles my whole life. They’ve always come with the tools to spread the secondary sheave to change your belt. I was very surprised to find that my 2018 HD 10 1000 XT has no belt change tools!! That’s something needed on every machine! Anyone else notice this?

Apparently Santa traded in his sleigh for a Can-Am Renegade after Christmas, but from the looks of this video he might want to reconsider. That ATV has definitely got more than eight reindeer power and if he can’t control it, there will be a lot of disappointed little girls and boys come Christmas morning.
