Hi...just reverse is the problem.Wire is connected .In the past I've taken the switch out and connected a tester to the "wire plug end" and push the little plunger in by hand....and nothing shows on the meter..

A new one shows continuity when I do that.

I'm guessing a good switch grounds the circuit, but a bad one does nothing.I also noticed a bad one always has a worn plunger which is rather strange.

2nd neutral switch in a year....350 rancher.Obviously no reverse and can't understand it.Original switch lasted 15 yrs.

It's a 2000 model year.

Took the old switch and tested it...dead.Seems like such a simple device perhaps Chinese made? They were all from the Honda dealer.

Anyone else have these issues?

Thank you...I may have gotten lucky,but it worked

Hello everyone

Have read of some Honda ATV owners complaining of a stuck or seized clutch adjustment screw.

I had the same problem on my 2000 350 rancher.My solution was to loosen the lock nut,apply penetrating oil,and drive for a few days with the lock nut loose.(don't loose it).

The constant heating and cooling (with the penetrating oil) of the engine allowed the penetrating oil to work itself in.

After a few days I noticed the clutch was slipping more than normal,at which point I was able to move the adjustment screw back and forth (gently) and with a little more oil was able to actually turn the screw very easily.

Voila! Clutch adjustment screw works like it should.

Hope this helps some,
