Well after many hours of tinkering, and replacing the angle sensor, my Rancher still would not shift. Honda suggested adjusting the clutch, I screwed it out a few rounds, in a few rounds, nothing. Took the shift motor off and cleaned brushed and rotor, now shifts like new!! but now my clutch is severely out of adjustment, I tried adjusting like the manual says to no avail. It will not roll for anything. It will shift great, unless I get it too tight then wont shift at all. Loosen it up and shifts fine, but will not go. Where am I going wrong. Counterclockwise until tension, back out quarter turn, tighten nut, done it 30 times, 4 wheeler will not go anywhere!! Jeez

 

I wonder if something dropped out of place when you screwed it in & out, maybe too far? I did that once with an old 200SX I had. I ended up removing the cover and putting things back in place. But if you're going to try that, make sure you have a manual with an exploded view of the parts. There aren't a lot of parts that are going to need put in place, but they have to be right.

 

I think you may be on to something, it is like the adusting screw has no effect at all on the clutch system. I have never taken the case off covering the clutch assembly, but I guess there is a first time for everything. I will look for an online exploded view of the inside, so when I get there I will no if anything is out of place.
