hi i have a 2001 yamaha wolverine 4x4. i live in western new york and this past winter was pretty harsh on my quad as i use it to plow my drive way. i got stuck a lot and had to rock it back and forth quit a few times and i belive i messed up the revers gear. it has the reverse *** to turn, it will try to engage but it wont move and it makes a very loud grinding sound. i tried to adjust the cable to the motor tranny but same thing happens. however it still goes through all forward gears very well , exept i have noticed that since i lost my reverse i can really fire through my gears it is so much more faster accelerating. any thoughts of my issue, what to do/try and would it be a costly fix as i have never had to put money into any kind of repaires guess ive been luck so far till now lol.. thankyou for takeing the time to read/respond...

 

Have you been slamming n2 reverse? Without completing not stopping?

 

im sure i did to keep the rpms up i would lift up into first gear and throttle it up n let go and would do the same for reverse but only reverse is bad. not a smart thing to do i know that, but it is what it is lol. ive been riding for over 20 years been stuck to many time to remember but never had this happen

 

Sorry BUT IMO sounds like tear down..Not an easy fix on this one!!!Good Luck

 

thankyou
