Anybody had any issues with the 350 AT rancher getting stuck between automatic and ES ? It wont shift out of 1st gear. We have been riding on icy mud holes and falling through .

It has been pretty cold, low20s and the brakes are freezing if they sit a short time. I did back over a branch that forced its way up from the rear up to the shift **** area (unbelievable) beside the gas tank.

I'm not sure if its just frozen or I bent the linkage. The rancher is frozen solid and covered in mud. I'll have to wait til it thaws to hose it off to disassemble. I'm hoping it is a common freezing situation on this particular model. I know the brakes will freeze up pretty quick.

By the way, the 04 Foreman ES kicked butt and never missed a pop, but the 350 EX with some type of serious mudd tires covered us all,,,,,,,,and himself too!

I fixed one just like this the other day. The bolt that holds the shift star lever came loose, it's under the front cover.

 

Thanks cluby, that will be the first thing I check! I'll let ya know how it goes!
