Dozer69 0 Posted August 11, 2023 Hey I have a 04 rincon and I have a grinding racheting sound coming from transmission when I accelerate from a stop. I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to start looking into it. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,626 Posted August 11, 2023 Welcome aboard. Not a lot of Rincon guys here, but @toodeep knows quite a bit about them. When you say "transmission" that sounds bad, but I had a recent problem on an IRS Rancher that turned out to be the rear brake chattering. So, does your rear brake (left handlebar) work? If so, try gently squeezing it while you accelerate and see if the rattle goes away. The early Rincons had a riveted rear brake disc, and over time the rivets loosen up, which allows the disc to rattle around a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dozer69 0 Posted August 11, 2023 I'll try that but it sounds like gears grinding not really a chatter. Only happens when accelerating from a stop then it rides fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,626 Posted August 11, 2023 I really thought mine was a transmission issue as well, but discovered that the source of the noise was deceiving Anyhow, check that and report back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
