EVRBUL Brass ATV Gear Shifter Rod Linkage Bushings 2-Pack — Direct-Fit Replacement for Polaris Sportsman/Hawkeye, Reinforced PA66

EVRBUL’s 2-piece upgraded brass gear shifter rod linkage bushings are direct-fit replacements designed to restore reliable shifting on compatible Polaris ATVs by swapping fragile plastic internals for a brass-and-PA66 assembly.

If your Polaris Sportsman, Hawkeye or ACE models are showing sloppy or worn shift linkage, these bushings address the most failure-prone component. EVRBUL replaces the weak plastic contact surfaces with copper/brass alloy where pinching and wear occur, while using reinforced PA66 nylon for the remaining body. The kit ships with two bushings and extra circlips plus an installation manual so you can refit the linkage quickly and securely.

How does this upgrade differ from the original plastic part?

The EVRBUL design swaps the thin plastic wear surface for a brass/copper insert that resists abrasion and deformation under load. The surrounding housing is thickened PA66 nylon to keep the part light yet durable. Together, they cut down on play and extend time between replacements without harming mating components.

• Brass/copper contact surface instead of fragile plastic
• Thicker PA66 nylon body for added strength
• Reduced wear and longer service life
• Non-abrasive to the connected shift lever and pins

Which Polaris models and years are compatible with this kit?

This EVRBUL kit is made to match the OEM fitment and replaces part number 5436722. It fits a wide range of Polaris Sportsman, Hawkeye and ACE machines across multiple model years—check the list carefully against your vehicle’s year and trim. If your OEM part uses the same linkage geometry and circlip retention, this kit will bolt in without modification.

• Fits Sportsman models including 450, 500, 550, 570, 800, 850, 1000 (various years listed)
• Covers Hawkeye 300/325/400 series and several ACE 150/325/500/570 models
• Replace part number 5436722 for straightforward verification
• Intended as a direct-fit aftermarket replacement—no special tools required

What comes in the package and is installation difficult?

The kit includes two upgraded bushings and three circlips per side (two supplied plus an extra) to secure the linkage. EVRBUL changed the fixing method to a clamping spring type for a firmer, easier installation; an installation guide is included to walk you through the steps. Basic hand tools and moderate mechanical ability are enough for most home repairs.

• 2× upgraded brass gear shifter rod linkage bushings
• 2× circlips plus 2× additional circlips for spares
• Clamping spring fixing method for secure fit
• Installation manual included for guided replacement

How will this part affect shifting performance and maintenance?

By restoring a tight, low-friction pivot at the shifter rod, the EVRBUL bushings reduce slop and improve the precision of gear selection. Expect fewer linkage-related adjustments and less downtime compared with worn OEM plastic bushings. Regular inspection is still recommended, but intervals should be extended due to the harder-wearing materials.

• Smoother, more accurate gear engagement
• Lower likelihood of sudden failure under normal use
• Longer replacement intervals compared with stock plastic parts
• Simple maintenance checks during routine service

Who is this for: EVRBUL’s upgraded linkage bushing kit is aimed at Polaris owners and mechanics who want a durable, direct-fit fix for worn shift rod pivot points—especially riders who prefer to repair with higher-strength components without altering original linkage geometry. It suits DIY weekend mechanics and professional shops restoring reliable shifting on Sportsman, Hawkeye and ACE series ATVs where part number 5436722 is required.
