How is the kit constructed and what materials are used?

The main lever is cast for structural strength and coated in a matte black finish to resist glare and hide scuffs. The included knob and cover are sized for comfortable shifting and use materials chosen to balance grip, longevity and weather resistance.

• Cast metal lever for rigidity and impact resistance.
• Matte black finish reduces reflections and conceals wear.
• Ergonomic shifter knob shaped for secure hand placement.
• Protective knob cover to shield threads and improve grip.

What comes in the package and how easy is installation?

The package contains the cast matte black shift lever, a shifter knob and a knob cover—everything required for a single replacement. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic UTV maintenance; most customers complete the swap with hand tools in a short session.

• Includes: 1 x cast shift lever (matte black), 1 x shifter knob, 1 x knob cover.
• Tools required: basic hand tools (wrenches, sockets), no specialty press needed.
• Estimated time: typically under one hour for experienced DIYers.
• Support: MOTO1988 provides 24-hour customer service and a one-year product service policy.

Will this kit change shifting feel or vehicle compatibility?

The kit restores OEM-like geometry and delivers a stable shifting feel similar to factory components; it’s not a force-multiplier performance upgrade. Because it’s built as a direct-fit replacement, you shouldn’t need alterations for compatible models, but always cross-check OEM numbers and model exclusions.

• Shifting feel: engineered to match stock ergonomics and lever length.
• No major vehicle modifications required for listed models.
• Not intended as an aftermarket performance lever for racing applications.
• Verify fit using the provided OEM part numbers and model list.

Who is this for: Riders and owners of compatible Polaris Ranger 1000 variants who need a durable, factory-style replacement for a worn or damaged shift lever and want a coordinated matte-black look. It’s ideal for owners doing routine maintenance, restoring stock appearance, or replacing parts after heavy use or field damage. If you own an excluded special edition or an incompatible year, check your OEM number or contact MOTO1988 support before ordering.
