how tough are polaris atv transmissions? can they take this?
im looking to put a 340 or 440 motor on my old trailboss, but will the additional power ruin the tranny?
a trailbosss/trailblazer/etc... polaris atv motors for the most part (excluding the predator and outlaw), are just like snowmobile motors, no gears, no trans inside of the motor whatsoever, setup just like a briggs & stratton 8 hp motor with a clutch that drives a belt. and 340/440's are twin cylinders this i know because ive owned both. the process of putting such a motor on this quad would be just to remove the old motor, fab up motor mounts and keep the belt in line-then hook up electrical/fuel line/etc. my question is, can the tranny take that kind of abuse or will it give up the battle?
polaris atv transmission are so tough that it's almost ridiculous. My brother's trailblazer 400 is putting 70 hp down at the rear wheels on a stock transmission for over 500 hours over the last 7 or so years. We also helped pull a few trucks out of mudholes with it too.
