stuck in gear
I owned a 93' Suzuki LT4WD 300 and my cousin owned an 89' Suzuki LT4WD 250 QuadRunner and both of these quads had the same setup for shifting , the shift cable is the only thing i didn't like about these Suzuki model's , and AC used these same two engine's on the AC 250 and 300's whitch made them alittle harder to change gear's ; this made it nessary to rock the quad when the engine was down shifted before cutting of the ignition in gear !
Hopefully the shift cable just need a simple adjustment , this should take care of the problem if the cable hasn't come loose or broken ; good luck and welcome to the forums !

It's possible that the shift lever mounted on the shaft that comes out of the engine/gearcase could've slipped on the spline's of the shift/shaft , but that could only happen if the nut that clamp's the lever to the spline's on the shaft coming out of the engine/gear case ; something else that could have something to do with shifting the gear's is if the clutch need's an adjustment , after i sold it to my brother in 2006 the clutch started slipping because he rode it hard lugging the engine !
You could try adjusting the clutch first if you've never done an adjustment since it was new , there's a black plastic cap that cover's the adjuster on the clutch side of the engine that's hard to get to it ; you have to remove the rear wheel to access the adjuster on these quad's .
If i remember correctly the black cap just snap's off exposing the lock/nut and adjuster screw and there should be 2 arrow's with the word's increase and decrease , you loosen lock/nut and turn it counter/clockwise untill you feel a slight resistance , then turn the adjusting screw clockwise 1/4 turn and tighten the lock/nut while holding the adjusting screw to keep it from turning : the adjusting screw has a slot that you can use a flat/head screw/driver to keep it from turning as you tighten the lock/nut !
I hope one of the thing's i've suggested does the trick because if it's something internal that need's replaced it'll be expensive , but if it is some internal part that need's replaced get a price quote from Arctic Cat and Suzuki Dealership to see which one's the cheapest ; where i live the AC Dealer was cheaper than Suzuki !
Good luck and i hope it's nothing more than just an adjustment that you can do yourself , the Dealership here where i live charge $90.00 an hour + part's , and they charge for an hour even if it only take's them 10 minutes for the job ; that's why i started doing all my own labor instead of taking them to the Dealership for service and repair !
