Polaris General Transmission Fluid Change

Changing the transmission fluid or as Polaris refers to it as the Main Gearcase on the General 1000 is pain free.  The General's design allows for the average UTV owner to maintain the entire running gear with just a hand full of tools.  Before getting started make sure you have the following ready.

• 1.3 quarts of Polaris AGL Fluid
• 8mm allen wrench
• catch pan

Begin by locating the drain plug which can be found where the main and rear skid plate meet.  Remove the drain plug with a 8mm allen wrench.  The drain plug is magnetic so take notice to any debris on it and wipe clean.   As the old AGL Fluid drains locate the fill plug above the reese hitch and below the rear sway bar.  The clearance is tight accessing the transmission fill plug on the General, but is doable.  Once the fill plug is broke loose you can remove it entirely with your fingers.  To fill we used a clear tube attached to the nozzle as seen in the below video.  Once 1.3 ounces of AGL Fluid is installed, or it crests the fill plug hole, reinstall the fill plug.
