Snorkel Tube Backlash Tool

Snorkel Tube Backlash Tool

Set the correct gear backlash on your Polaris transmission snorkel gear with this purpose-built tool. Proper backlash adjustment is critical after replacing the snorkel tube or pinion shaft gear — too tight and the gears bind and overheat, too loose and they chatter and wear prematurely. This tool takes the guesswork out of the job.

Precision Measurement
This tool provides a repeatable, accurate method for checking and setting gear backlash on the snorkel tube assembly. It eliminates the trial-and-error approach that leads to incorrect adjustments and premature gear wear.

Machine-Specific Design
Engineered specifically for Polaris transmission snorkel gear assemblies. The tool fits the exact geometry of the housing and gear set so you get an accurate reading every time — no improvising with dial indicators or shim stacks.

Durable Construction
Built from hardened steel to maintain its measurement accuracy over repeated use. This is a shop tool, not a disposable accessory — it holds its calibration and tolerances through years of service.

Essential for Snorkel Gear Work
If you're replacing a snorkel tube, pinion shaft, or snorkel gear on a Polaris transmission, this tool is required to set the backlash correctly. Using it ensures the gears mesh properly and the assembly runs quietly and efficiently.
