Fishfiles 20,145 Posted April 6, 2023 Hi welcome to ATVHonda forums. I don’t know why third gear. But many ES that ride with us malfunction in 3rd for some reason. First thought.Rock the Atv back and forth while trying to shift. You need a good hot battery. 2nd thought do Retro’s ES maintainance thread. A common problem is the bolt connecting the shift shaft to the shift level shears off or comes loose. We have members much more knowledgeable with the ES models 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You say Auto shifting is perfect, so I'm guessing you have a Rubicon? And it won't shift into 3rd gear when trying to use ES mode? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's an auto it's a Rubicon. The machine doesn't actually have gears, it has a hydrostat in it, and when in ES mode it simply locks the swash plate into a certain spot. If it works fine in auto mode that tells me it's not a mechanical problem, but an electrical/ECU problem. When you put it in ES mode, it will show/shift 1st and 2nd gear on the meter, then not shift to 3rd, or ? Do you have a good strong battery on the machine? The Rubicons have a lot of electronics on them, and if you have a weak/iffy battery, it can cause the electronics to go crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
