If you are using your ATV for a long time, then you can easily spot that your ATV transmission system has gone bad based on the sound coming out. Grinding it out on your ATV on a sunny afternoon is a great way to spend your time. But remember, grinding it out can cause a few problems to your transmission system, if you don’t drive carefully. In this article, we’ll look at the costs involved in rebuilding the ATV transmission completely and how to maintain your ATV transmission.
Contents
The average cost to rebuild an ATV transmission comes anywhere between $800-$1200. A complete ATV transmission rebuild includes replacing the transmission oil, transmission bearing and mounts, seals and bushings etc.
Every moving part inside your ATV comes with a limited lifespan. And your ATV transmission requires rebuilding when the ATVs fall out of gear or when your gears get stuck. Any problem in your ATV transmission means you cannot take your ATV out for a ride unless it is fixed. But it is in your hands to keep your ATV transmission in the best of shape. Let’s look at some tips below to see how to maintain your engine in a good condition for a long time.
When it comes to maintaining your ATV transmission system, the first thing you need to keep in mind is checking the transmission fluid level regularly. If you notice that if your transmission oil is black and gummy, it means you need to replace it immediately. Generally, in many ATVs the same engine oil is used for transmission too. To keep the transmission in the best shape, the oil should fresh and clear. To prevent the oil from getting black, make sure to read the owner’s manual to know the time interval for replacing the transmission fluids.
Make sure you add checking the transmission fluids also as part of your ATV maintenance tasks.
Next thin on your ATV maintenance list is to check the level of transmission fluid on your ATV. In case, your ATV runs on low transmission fluids, it is almost similar to your engines running on low oil. It could create a lot of issues and you might end spending hundreds of dollars on fixing the problems.
Also, check if your transmission fluid is leaking as it can be clearly evident on the oil marks on your garage floor where your ATV is stored. If there is any leakage, then it is important to replace the gasket or the seals to arrest the leakage.
Q: What are the different types of transmission on ATVs?
A: The most common types of transmission found on ATVs are automatic and manual.
Q: When do you need to change the transmission fluid?
A: It is better to refer the owner’s manual to check the correct interval to replace the transmission fluid.
Unless you happen to be a great handyman, performing ATV repairs can be a real pain. Sometimes, it is just easier to hire a professional so you don’t have to waste your time trying to fix something, not knowing if you are actually doing it the right way.
While that can be a relief, there are few things less stressful than thinking you are getting ripped off by a mechanic that knows more than you.
In an effort to put you at ease, and let you know what you should expect, we have compiled general price guidelines for all the common ATV repairs. Obviously, the market you live in is going to play a big part in the price, as well as how reputable the mechanic or dealer is that you are using.
You can also save some money doing it yourself if you are willing to learn how. For comparison sake, I am also sharing the cost of the parts so you know what you would be paying to do it yourself.
Just remember, a lot of these jobs will require specialized tools, so factor that cost in if you need to buy new tools as well.
Getting a first service after you buy a new ATV is important because it is required under most ATV warranties. You don’t have to have a dealer do it, as they charge a premium, but you need to keep all the documentation showing it was done if you do it yourself of go to a different ATV mechanic.
Part of the first service includes swapping out the “break-in” oil for regular oil. The rest of it is checking the valves, changing the other fluids, changing the spark plugs, adjusting engine idle speed, inspecting the major systems and other maintenance that doesn’t justify the high cost, especially since I would hope everything is in good shape after just 25 hours of ride time.
How much does the first service cost? It will likely run you $150-350 depending on your dealer and your ATV. ATV riders generally consider this price exorbitant and a definite way for the dealer to try and milk extra money out of you.
If you aren’t comfortable doing it yourself, try getting it thrown into the deal for free, or heavily discounted, when negotiation a sale. Getting stuff thrown in is pretty standard when negotiating an ATV deal, as we discussed in this guide.
A basic oil change in an ATV should include an oil filter change, and it shouldn’t be that much more than an oil change in your car. How much does an ATV oil change cost? You can probably expect an ATV oil change to run about $30-55 total.
If you want to change your own oil, the 2-3 quarts of oil you will need is going to run you $10-30 on Amazon depending what you go with. Doing the oil change yourself will only take about 20 minutes once you get the hang of doing it.
Replacing Air FilterMost of us ride our ATVs in dirty conditions. That’s kind of the point right? The problem is it cloggs up the air filter real quickly. A dirty filter lowers your gas mileage and causes poor engine performance.
While you can clean it to expand the filter’s life, you will want to replace it fairly regularly.
How much does it cost to replace an air filter? Most dealers only really do it as part of a more full service, so just do it yourself if needed since it is super easy. A new air filter will cost you $5-50 on Amazon or cycle-parts.com, depending what ATV you own and what brand you go with.
General Tune-UpHow much does an ATV tune-up cost? Generally, an ATV tune-up is going to cost somewhere between $100-400, depending on what services are included. There is a wide range here because of the wide array of what is typically included. You can expect a typical tune-up to include some of the following services. The more that is included, the higher the price is going to be.
Replacement of brake pads should include new pads and the bleeding of the brake system.
Both sides should be done at the same time to ensure maximum performance and safety. How much does ATV brake pad replacement cost? About $40-70 per side.
If you want to replace the brake pads yourself, they will run you anywhere from $10-60, depending on your ATV and the brand you choose, if you order them from Amazon or cycle-parts.com.
Top-End Rebuild.A top-end rebuild includes typically includes the valves (including valve seats, shims and guides), piston rings, cylinder wall hone, de-carbonized combustion chambers, replacement and and base gaskets and seals, R&R idler guide or tensioner, and spark plugs. It is designed to improve the fuel economy, efficiency, and overall performance of your ride.
How much does an ATV top-end rebuild cost? Generally, it will run between $500-750. The lower end of the price range is going to apply if you have a 2-stroke ATV, while the higher price range is going to be for 4-stroke ATVs.
Doing this on your own is really going to depend on how much you need to replace, but it is likely going to be in the $200-400 range.
If you can get away with just buying a kit from Amazon or cycle-parts.com, it will be a bit cheaper.
An ATV carb overhaul should include the disassembly, cleaning, clearing of all passages, reaming jets, tuning accelerator pump timing and replacement of needed parts. How much does an ATV carb overhaul cost? Typically, it will cost between $75-200. Keep in mind, that is going to be per carb, so you will want to know how many carbs your ATV has.
You can buy your own Carburetor kit from Amazon or cycle-parts.com for $20-40 depending on the model of your ATV.
Clutch ReplacementA standard clutch replacement should include the replacement of the clutch plate and an oil change. The price is going to go up significantly if you are looking at changing out the entire clutch system.
How much does the clutch replacement cost for an ATV? About $150 unless you are doing the whole clutch system, then you can expect $300-500.
Doing it yourself is going to cost you $50-150 depending on your ATV. The time it is going to take is also going to depend on your ATV, as some models, like the Raptor, require you to pull the motor, while some models, like the Warrior, do not.
If you don’t have to pull the motor, you can probably get it done in under an hour. If you have to pull the motor, you are looking at two to three hours.
Valve Job or AdjustmentHow much does an ATV valve job or adjustment cost. You should expect to pay about $100-250 for either.
If you want to do it yourself, a set of valve’s will only cost you $5-15 on Amazon or cycle-parts.com, but you may need a shim kit as well, which could run $50-70 (shim kit is reusable).
Shock rebuildAn ATV shock rebuild typically includes the disassembly of the shock, the cleaning of all components, the replacement of any worn parts, the filling of oil and the bleeding and charging with nitrogen.
How much does a shock rebuild cost? A shock rebuild is going to run about $100-250 per shock. You may be able to get it a bit cheaper if your shocks do not have a reservoir.
The kit to do it yourself is going to run anywhere from $50-125 on Amazon or cycle-parts.com.
Water Pump Seal ReplacementA water pump seal replacement should include the flushing of your coolant system in addition to a new water pump seal. How much does an ATV water pump seal replacement cost? You should expect to pay between $75-150.
To do it yourself, you will need to pay $20-60 for a replacement water pump seal on Amazon or cycle-parts.com.
CV Boot and/or Joint ReplacementConstant velocity (CV) boots keep the lubricating grease inside the joint and the dirt out. So, if you notice a crack in the boot, you want to replace it as quickly as possible.
If the dirt and other bad stuff gets inside the joint, it will grind up all the metal parts inside the joint really quickly.
Then, you have to replace the whole joint, which is a lot more expensive.
How much does it cost to replace a CV boot? About $80-125 depending on whether you get an OEM part. How much does it cost to replace a CV joint? About $200.
If you can do it yourself, a CV boot is only about $15 on Amazon or cycle-parts.com. You can expect the job to probably take about two hours.
Coolant ChangeHow much does a radiator coolant change cost in an ATV? Generally, you will pay about $60-100. Changing the coolant yourself will take an hour or two and the coolant will run $20-30. You will need 2 quarts to get get the job done.
Brake Fluid ChangeHow much does an ATV brake fluid change cost? It is likely going to cost $50 each for the front, rear or clutch system. You can flush and replace your brake fluid by picking up some DOT 3 or DOT 4 (don’t mix) on Amazon for about $10-15.
Chain and Sprockets ReplacementA chain and sprocket replacement should include both front and rear sprockets and the chain.
It’s always a good idea to replace your chains and sprockets at the same time. You’ll notice a difference in the way your vehicle runs, shifts, and sounds.
How much does an ATV chain and sprocket replacement cost? You should budget between $100-200. The difference is going to depend on the cost of the chain and sprocket kit for your ATV. Those typically run $50-125. You should expect to be charged about $50 for labor.
If you want to do it yourself, it should take just under an hour and the kit will be $50-125 on Amazon or cycle-parts.com.
Chain adjustment and cleaningIf you just have a grimy chain and don’t need a full replacement, you can get it cleaned, lubed and adjusted. This will dramatically increase the life of your chain. How much does an ATV chain adjustment and cleaning cost? It should only cost about $15-25.
Tire ChangeHow much does an ATV Tire Change cost? The labor should run no more than $25 per tire, but the total cost is going to depend on the tires you get.
ATV tires can run anywhere from $20-250 per tire.
The basic tires are going to be cheaper, while your more specialty tires like mud, sand or snow tires are going to be most expensive. Doing it yourself is just going to save you the installation fee.

MOTOZIP54- Original, Contractor, STRAL PARTS FOR ATV
When repairing and maintaining a Polaris ATV at a certain age and with mileage, it is not always justified to use and install new original spare parts and components. nine0003
By analogy with the repair of an imported passenger car, when maintaining or restoring an imported ATV UTV quad, it is quite justified to use a contract or duplicate analogue of the original spare part.
The quality of imported spare parts of the eminent American manufacturer Polaris, even in the second-hand version and with mileage, is quite good, which will allow them to be installed on a not new quadric during repair.
The source of supply of used spare parts for repairs is very simple: it is either overseas professional dismantling of ATVs, or Russian specialized service stations for ATV repair: due to an accident or inept operation (engine overheating, fracture of the box body or engine crankcase, bent frame or a banal coup with damage attachments and plastic panels, etc.
) it is not always justified to restore the ATV - it is easier to sell it for disassembly in parts. nine0003
tuning, tires, spare parts for variator, etc.
For reference: all numbered units are supplied complete with accompanying documents: invoice, purchase and sale agreement, PTS or PSM, GTD (technical equipment passport or self-propelled vehicle passport, cargo customs declaration), which allows the new owner of the contract unit (motor assembly, frame, gearbox, etc.) to make changes in the certificate and PSM at the place of registration of the ATV or snowmobile in the territorial bodies of Gostekhnadzor. nine0003
