got an 03 bigbear4004x4 still under warranty but was just wondering if anyones noticed a problem with shifting from reverse to neutrual or 1st not all the time but i tryed like 4 or 5 times and had to evently get it by using my hand to pull up on it a couple of times?? anyone else havin this problem and if so if you had it fixed what caused it??

 

I had a bolt come out on my Kodiak shifter once that caused me some problems that sound similar. I had to removed the rubber boot and several bolts to get it apart enough to retrieve the bolt that came out. Luckily, I didn't loose it.

The other thing that makes it hard to change gears is if your idle is set too fast.

ya i got a 2003 big bear and have that same exact problem, no one but me can do it with my foot [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] you just gotta give it a good shake while trying to push up on the shifter at the same time and it usally works...wierd? lol the bear is a hard shifter thought but im used to it my last machine was a 84 honda 200s atc which had a horrible tranny and shifted SO BAD so the bear is like god to me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i have an 05 bigbear and coming from a raptor which i used to own it was a whole different feeling when i was trying to shift gears. sometimes if u give a good wiggle when ur shifting while stopped it helps.

 

Same with my warrior reverse before I took it off - sometimes it needs a good wiggle back and forth before it will engage but it worked most the time.

 

I've had the same troubles. I've had some success holding in the left hand brake lever, and sort of rocking. No-one else could shift mine out but me, as well. I guess I just give it a lil more *** since its mine and all. There is a increase/decrease screw on the side of the tranny, but I'am not so sure it is designed to aliviate the problem. I haven't read the manual on that topic yet.

 

Ive had some trouble switching from reverse to neutral. I found out that you have to give it a little gas while trying to switch. That works for me on both my Rubicon and my Wolverine.
