ATV & UTV Drivetrain FAQs

What are the different types of ATV transmissions?

ATVs can have three different types of transmissions: manual transmissions, automatic transmissions, and semi-automatic transmissions. Automatic transmissions provide you with less manual control, but they are very convenient and consistent, making them a popular choice for utility vehicles.

Why are ATV drivetrains important?

The drivetrain is an essential component of your ATV. The drivetrain connects the engine to the wheels of your quad, enabling it to move. Regular maintenance is important to keep your transmission in proper working order. Check and change your transmission fluid frequently, inspect your transmission before you ride, and keep an eye out for jerky acceleration or grinding sounds! Check out our ATV maintenance guide for more information.

What spare ATV/UTV drivetrain parts should I carry with me?

It’s a good idea to carry spare UTV drive train parts with you - especially an extra drive belt, as this is the most common drivetrain replacement. Beyond simple part replacements, drivetrain and transmission problems can be complex to diagnose and repair, so it’s best to hire a professional mechanic to help you out. Check out our article on the most common UTV repairs to learn more.
