Engine/Transmission

This section has been organized into sub-sections

which show a progression for the complete servicing

of the Arctic Cat ATV engine/transmission.

To service the center crankcase halves, the

engine/transmission must be removed from the frame.

To service top-side, left-side, and right-side compo-

nents, the engine/transmission does not have to be

removed from the frame.

NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of new

gaskets, lock nuts, and seals and lubricating all
internal components when servicing the engine/
transmission.

NOTE: Some photographs and illustrations used

in this section are used for clarity purposes only
and are not designed to depict actual conditions.

NOTE: Critical torque specifications are located

in Section 1.

SPECIAL TOOLS

A number of special tools must be available to the

technician when performing service procedures in this

section.

NOTE: Special tools are available from the Arctic

Cat Service Parts Department.
