800 Sportsman Transmission Fluid Change

Changing transmission fluid on the Polaris 800 Sportsman is quick, easy to access and requires only one tool. This video shows how to change Sportsman 800 transmission fluid. The Sportsman transmission housing is paired with the rear differential, one fluid change does both.  

Before getting started gather up everything needed for the fluid change.
- Polaris AGL PLUS Transmission Fluid, 1 qt.
- 8mm allen wrench
- catch pan
- funnel or watch the video
- rags

Warm the transmission fluid up by driving around at road speeds for a couple miles.  Park on level ground and remove the 8mm drain plug located behind the right rear tire.  As the fluid drains you can remove the fill plug located behind the left rear tire, below the battery and just behind the CVT case.  Once fluid has drained re-install the transmission drain plug, just hand tight.  Next fill with Polaris AGL Fluid until it begins to run out the fill plug hole.  We found our transmission to hold slightly less than a full quart of AGL Fluid.
