Hi, got a 2000 foreman ES dressed up with a plow for my driveway. A couple snow storms ago I noticed that if i was in first gear pushing anything with a little weight it started to slip a little bit. Just over this last week with a nasty heavy ice mix it got worse and now even just driving in first without even having the plow on its making a strange clicking non stop and slipping whenever there is any terrain resistance. All the rest of the gears seem to be ok.

Anybody got any ideas where I should start my troubleshooting?

Thanks

 

I would first change the oil and filter checking for gear teeth in the oil and filings in the filter ...

 

good idea. thats gonna suck if its the tranny. wonder what it costs to have it replaced.
