I assume this is a fairly obvious bolt when the front case is cracked open? Just tighten and torque it?

Ok, I can do that easy enough. Next question - Could there be something else that would require a full engine off fix? I ask this because I have a guy that can fix it...issue is he'll want to do the Piston, Rings and wrist pin as the same time...so basically a rebuild..then get to the trans and fix whatever is wrong there. He's at like 1200 for that. But seems like wasted money since it dont need rebuilt...unless there is a reason I cannot fix it from the front cover.

Is this something I can fix? just pull the front cover off...and inspect

@jeepwm69 - What exactly does it do in 3rd gear? Make a popping noise but not pull well? When moving and trying to shift, the foot lever bounces up and down real fast, like its skipping over the gear or the gear is moving to fast. Now, sitting still, I can shift into 1,2 and 3....take off slow and then go to 4-5. When trying to shift into 3rd - I can look down (left side) at the shaft going to the front and its shaking back and forth....hope that makes sense.

Wonder about this.... they converted ES to Footshift without removing the reduction gears in the ES motor. Does that make a difference?

Yep - your right not what I wanted to hear. I assume its a motor off repair? looks that way. Ugh, maybe I didnt get it cheap enough.

Thanks for the reply - I've already removed the gears from the ES motor...so I dont think a harness will fix this.

Hi all, new member. Just picked up this quad, runs great and for the most part all is good. It will shift into R 1,2 fine, 3RD has issues, lots of rattling noises. Sometimes I can get it in when stopped and then go right into 4-5 no issues. This is all by foot shift. The es was broke and not used by the PO. I did check to see if the reduction gears were removed and they were not, so I did. Also, have tried to adjust the clutch but I cannot turn the screw after loosening the nut, it seems stuck though it'll move freely in and out. Any other ideas for me? I got it cheap, but I don't want to soak a ton more in it. Tom
