I am trying to deal with the shifting issue this piece of ..... has. 

I have the part that Jose made from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPU22uKW01Y&t=13s 

I have the engine loose except for the drive shafts.  I have no idea how to take them apart from the engine, looked for videos or directions and have not found anything. (maybe I am not using the correct terms when searching)

 

Looking for help on how to take this apart, so I can lift the engine out and work on it.

I got these instructions from Jose,

  • The engine mount bolts are next and I recommend taking the two bolts on each rear mount out first and then goto the front and remove the long bolt. You may not be able to physically remove it completely as it hits the frame. A little wiggle usually gets it free but is not needed. 
  • The rear axle can be pushed rearward and uncouple the driveshaft. Watch out for the spring and note its location.
  • Then shift the engine to the rear an disconnect the front driveshaft keeping an eye out for the spring.

Did you do this? I don’t understand how I can move the rear axle backwards.  Everything is bolted to the frame.  I don’t want to undo all of that also or do I need to?

doesn’t make sense that I can’t take that u joint apart.  Seams to be a much easier solution than unbolting the axle.

Butcher6868, with your replies I am assuming you have fixed your shifting issue with Jose's part.  I got the engine apart so I can get to the piece, but I am having a brain fart and can not figure out how to get the shifting shaft out so I can remove the original piece and weld on the new, what am I missing?

Yes the shaft will have to come out. 
    Carefully remove the shift linkage(8mm) and remove it from shaft. Pop the seal out with a pick. This will allow you access to the snap ring retainer clip. Use a set of small snap ring pliers to remove clip and this will allow the shift to remove. Take your time during the mark up process after you have the old bracket cut off. You can cut right across the top/weld. Then knock the bracket off. 
  Make sure you hold the forward and reverse gear in place when checking the orientation.

      Polaris RZR 800 Rear Differential Pinion Nut Issue
      By Sidewinder
      All mid 2008 through 2014 Polaris RZR 800 series have a big problem with the rear differential pinion nut backing off, allowing the pinion gear to shoot into the rear differential, destroying the rear differential. This has happened with machines with as little as less than 100 miles on them! Reports indicate that there are no problems, nor warnings, until the rear differential grenades, locking the rear axles solid! This requires the machine to be lifted onto a trailer, to be transported for rear differential replacement, as it destroys the case. After failure, rear differential replacement can be quite expensive: labor alone can run from $800-$1200 and a new OEM Spicer rear diff, if you can find one, can run from $1700-$2500! So, if you own any Polaris RZR 800 series between the years of 2008-2014, I recommend that you do this repair before further use of your machine. personally, I have grounded my machine until it can be done. Please check the online post for your own awareness.

      Kubota RTV520 - smoke and stall issue
      By fikey
      I am about 6 months in to owning my 520. It is used mainly to run back and forth to our barn and shop. Occasionally, I run it up and down a few fairly steep hills on the property. One day, as I was going up one of the hills, the motor started sputtering and a tremendous amount of smoke was coming out of the exhaust. I was near the top and it made it (sputtering) up. Once back on the flat, I made it home. I loaded it on the trailer and took it back to the dealer. They said they checked everything out and found no issues. Over the next month or so, I only had occasion to go up hills once or twice with no issue. Then one day, again as I was going up a hill, the engine sputtered, giant plume of white smoke and then the engine died. 30 seconds later, started up and made it to the top. Repeated the route (down and up) and the same thing happened again. Called the dealer and their head of service said he would come out and wanted to see it first hand. He came out a few days later and repeated the route several time and it never happened with him in it. I had videoed the whole thing on one of the times it happened to me, but since it happens intermittently, could not produce it when he was here. I told him that I had checked the temperature, the oil level and the antifreeze level after each occurrence and they were normal. I asked him to call Kubota and ask what the possibilities were and that I am not fond of it dying on the hill and blowing the smoke and I didn't want to wait until something catastrophic happened to figure it out. When I followed up, they had no answers (which doesn't exactly please me). Any ideas? The attached photo was the start of the smoking. Didn't know how to upload the video of the whole thing, but it fogged the whole area.

      Massimo Msu 500 Has No Power
      By Rmillerdesigns
      Hello. I have a 2016 Massimo MSU 500. I was putting on a lightbar and i screwed up and didn't disconnect the battery so when i was taking of the positive cable to put on the power from the lightbar it sparked and now the utv has no power. I turn the key over and all i hear is a chirp. No lights or anything. Everything that comes from the battery to the jumper box up by the battery shows voltage but anything coming out does not such as to the winch or anything like that

      Must have upgrades/spares?
      By MilSurpYinzer
      Hey all, I was just wondering what you guys consider a necessary upgrade or spare part to have or mod onto your machine.
      I'm going for a kind of shtf survival rig that's not going to be SUPER heavy and I'm looking at getting:
      A spare belt (I keep seeing this mentioned everywhere I look so it must be important)
      A spare tire and mount( So would I need a jack like one from an old jeep or something else?)
      Tire chains for the winter
      And maybe a cargo bed upgrade so things don't slide out.
      Bumpers because duh.
      I already installed high output lights and have a windshield, roof, back window, and winch. And I outfitted a Molle panel for the back of my passenger seat with extra supplies like food, first aid, and spare mags.
      Any advise on increasing durability, longevity, and having something on hand because it's absolutely necessary would be a plus.
      Thanks so much!
