got a 99 honda foreman 450es that will not shift. but manually shifting it will go to neutral and first but after first gear it is just a black blinking line. i have replaced the angle sensor, speed sensor, ecu, traced all wires and ohm out back to ecu. any suggestions?

 

Do a gear position switch test
If it checks out, remove the shift control motor and check if it spins both directions with voltage hooked to the wires both ways with little effort.
The pre 2002 electric shifts can be a pain to diagnose as they do not display codes
Found quite a number of bad shift control motors that shut down the electric shift system because of water in them, corrosion, bad armeture contact via bad brushes or arcing out a spot in the armeture
My 01 450 has eaten 2 shift motors since I bought it. Even recieved a defective brand new shift motor from Honda while fighting shift issues on mine
