have a 2007 500 sportsman h.o efi with 575 miles and the awd works in reverse but not in forward,the polaris shop said the cage is broken in the front diff
,could there be another problem

Does the awd icon show up on the screen? Any noise from the front diff when going forward?

 

[railer]

yes the awd or 4x4 shows on the screen and there is no noise when going forward but there is a grinding noise when awd kicks in or when you need it.another shop i called told me they were telling customers not to use 4x4 unless you needed it or not run in 4x4 all the time as this could break the cage.looks like i should have bought an older machine as this does not happen because of a different engagement system.

Hate to say it but I believe the shops are rite on the diagnosis.

check the front CV boots mine had a tare in one and made a grinding noise I replaced the boot last week and the noise stopped

the noise from mine was more of a chirp though

Go to this site, click on front gearcase and this will bring up exploded view of front diff. with part numbers. Cage or sprag might be blown. Atleast you will get a better understanding of whats going on there..lol
