2007 Honda Rancher 420 not shifting
Somebody please help,
I have a 2007 honda rancher 420 ES, with 68 miles. I got it out of the garage the other day to ride it andit would not shift. It really wanted to, when I push the up shift bottun it will up shift and show 1 and then fall back into nuetral. If I push the button fast I can get it to stay in first but then have the same problem with second. I have the Honda tech manual and have checked the codes it has given me but I am doubting that it is an electrical problem.
side note I had a problem with the reverse at one point when it was under warranty they said I had water in the reverse connector. Theyput dielectric grease in it. I can put it into reverse and take it out wih out any problem.

Like Honda mechanic said, check the clutch.
Honda had a heads up on these units for checking the shift switch connector for moisture and nipping the wires casing aloowing moisture to drain before reaching the connector.
Also moisture can get into the ecm connection causing this problem. Since I am not a huge fan of dielectric grease, I sprayed the connections with ignition sealer, completely after demoisturizing connections
Sounds like they most likely done what Honda suggests, since there was already a shift issue.
Let me tell you though, I had these units come back in with shift issues after what Honda said to do, was done. Switch replacement cured their shift issues. You may need a switch.

I adjusted the clutch I had to turn it a couple of turns out. Now once and a while I can get it to go into first but still having the same problems. I will look for some ignition sealer to spray the connections. I am having trouble believing that it is a problem with moisture because it has been in the garage for months. Also the shift motor is trying to shift.
When I got it into first I thought that maybe it just needed to get rotating and some lubrication so I went to try to ride it. when shifting to second it would go into nuetral. I am guessing it is something stupid.
Thanks for the help ecspecially yours recon ranger it was the best(not).

I use to have the foreman and it worked perfectly except forwhen the battery went dead. That is why I bought the rancher it is pretty much identical to the 2000 foreman.
I have to get the recall done on the front axles so I will call and ask about it tomorrow. thanks again

So I called the dealer today and got an appointment for the end of the week. I asked for the warranty info and he told me that it expired on the 19th of last month. Do I have to do anything special to get them to cover the repair under the "good will warranty"? Other than ask if Honda wil cover it? Complain to someone special? I can change the motor, I will not pay for someone to fix it.
Thanks again
