Hi guys, Im new to this forum, I have a 2007 honda rubicon and when i try to shift into drive or d1 the d disappears on the display , and even when i turn it to esp it disappears the quad will move but at a slower rate , Im not quite sure what to do , Im by no means a mechanic , eventually it will go into d and it will appear on the display but it takes a while , Any help will be much appreciated .Thanks

 

Hey there buddy, start with getting a manual.

Bumping so someone knowledgeable would chime in.

 

Im , not sure I follow you , Im new here

 

How old is the battery? If its old and not fully charged it might throw some codes. I know with all the electronics Honda has put in the Rubicon, a weak battery can sometimes cause things to not work properly. Even if thats not it, its definitely the first thing I would check.

 

I put a new battery in about 2 years ago and I also just check to make sure everything is tight , The shifter will not lock in the D position but will lock in Reverse and Low , I was trying to avoid a visit to the dealer .I can move the shifter in and out of the D position without the light coming on also

 

Sounds like it might be a shift linkage problem. It might not be fully shifting into gear and its throwing everything off in the transmission. I'll admit I'm not a master mechanic either but hopefully one of them will see this and chime in with how to actually fix it. I can usually figure out whats wrong with my machines if there's a problem but don't always have the ability or patience to actually fix it.

 

Thanks for your reply, Im almost sure thats what it is also , It does not engage into the D position
