Two of the Hondas (Rancher AT and Rubicon) use a hydrodynamic transmission and the Rincon uses one much like out of a car. All the rest of the manufacturers are belt drives.
Personally, I don't like any of them, and prefer to stick with a good old foot shifter! This limits my choice of models that I have to select from, but that's just fine with me..........

You can't go wrong with the Honda Rubicon's transmission. It even offers manual control. It's hard for even the die-hard auto-clutch riders to knock it because there really isn't anything it can't do.
If you do end up looking at belt-drive automatics (which I think are just fine too), Yamaha makes one of the best.

The Rincon is the only true automatic. It has a torque converter and is a 3 speed. Just like the old turbo 350 from GM. Alot of people don't like this trans though. But I honestly believe these are people who have never ridden a Rincon. I hear complaints of no low gear. But in first gear I can nail it and hit the back rack sitting on the gas tank. So that seems to me low enough. The trans works just like a cars. It can be shifted manually or in full auto and when your cruising around 30 and nail the gas it kicks down to second for a passing gear. I personally love the way it works and have NO complaints about it.

the difference between yamaha and most of the other autos out there is this:the yamaha CVT (constant velocity transmission)Has no gears ,the ratios are somewhat infinite,you cant wind it out becuase there is nothing to wind out.Theres no slack time like with the 3 or 4 speed autos.You just push the throttle and go.However it all depends on what you want.I just bought a 06 kodiak 450 4x4 shift on the fly,high lo range and differential lock,instrument panel. This thing will go anywhere i have the ***** to go.Its pretty fast with a top speed of around 60 or so.fully independent suspension.
Ok so maybe i'm a little bias lol.There are alot of choices. try a few and see what you like best
