hi to all . i have a technical question for all the gearheads . here we go .i have a new to me 2001 type 10 ranger 4x4 . long story short trns was run out of agl fluid and ran without it until whine started to occure.trans has a high pitch whine in forward gears only . in the trans it has a ring and pinion set up like a car or truck . in trying to fix the whine i replaced that ring and pinion and the pinion bearing , did not fix the problem.(ouch). on further investigation the backlash is way out of range. would anyone here know if and how to set the gear depth or if it can even be done. i called polaris but they say that there are no other shims or shim kits to move the ring gear where mine needs to go. i'm just thinking that if in some way that if it running for several days with no fluid might have heated the casing and distorted it or if in fact that there are aftermarket parts to fix my problem.
sorry for the rant but would really like to hear some suggestions on whether or not ya'll think that it it fixable or not.

Welcome to the forum kevbo! My only comment on this is that if the casing were distorted it seems the seals would leak and give it away. RangerDale might have some suggestions...

Thnx badley for the info. i understand about the case seal leaking and that is a good point but this is not a problem on mine. i'm coming to understand that i may be fighting a losing battle.

what comes into your mind that you replace your ring and pinion? I don't that is the problem with your ranger.

All pre 2007 ranger transmissions had a whining issue and that is normal. If you inspected all the components and bushings for ware and it all checks out there is not much more you can do if you are running the proper fluid and it was assembled properly. I have never heard of the cases distorting as well. As for the backlash it may be case ware when it ran out of fluid and I am not aware of Polaris haveing different shims to compensate for this but maybe it is something that can be fabricated.....
