I am looking at a used 2005 Honda Rincon. It will mostly be for trail riding and plowing my driveway. How reliable are these machines? How are the transmissions in these units.

Nothing specail but i figured you wouls enjoy them some what. . .

I figured that if you want to Drag race your Rubicon you can shift the Sub trans from L to D and D to L !
Now in the this Video i had to film drive and shift so i wasn't going very fast but its good enough to show the Neat trick i found out about the Rubies. . .Tho i don't recommend doing it but it can be done ! By the time this Video was filmed i had been doing this for almost a year. . .

Works great for trail riding thats how i been shifting my sub trans....
Zipping alone the trail come apon a muddy poatch filp on the $wd down shift into Lo Range romp threw the whole apon exiting the mud flip off the 4WD rap it up to 30mph or 36mph n shift back up works best in D1 ok in D2 ESP i wouldn't try it it won't save time. . .let the Computer adujst the trans gears to keep the shift smooth. . .

Down shift 15mph or less.

Up shift 15-20mph right on 30mph right 36mph.

If you miss the shift or force it will jump in N and you display will show " -- " I have spent a few years driving Commercail Grade Relics so hitting the shifts right on FOR ME ain't that Hard. . .
