not shifting and riding in high revs won't hurt the tranny but not to great on the engine which with my experaince with polaris sportsmans you really don't want to do, they need to be babied I've had nothing but problems with the sportsmans so I quit buying polaris atvs altogether. What'd I'd do is look at the tranny and the fluid make sure there is no metal flakes in the oil from gears grinding and change all the fluids. Doing it a few times probably didn't do much damage, next time if you plan on renting atv's get an auto.
