Procharger 0 Posted October 15, 2023 New member here. Just bought my daughter a 24 rancher 420. P/S manual shift. Needed one and the dealer was out of stock on the ES 4wd. This shifter seems to have the longest throw I have ever seen. Question is, is this shifter adjustable? Could I convert this to ES. I know you can buy the controller for the handlebars. That won’t be an issue. I found a shifter motor today for the ES. Would this be as simple as bolting the motor on and hooking up the switch? I would assume the wiring would be there already and the case have a mount location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Converting a manual shift to ES shift would be a massive project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted October 15, 2023 You could add a hand shifter for about $40 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Procharger 0 Posted October 15, 2023 I might just add an extension to the shifter. Take some of the throw out. Thanks for the reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both of my older daughters learned on a footshift, and were driving them by the time they were 10-12 (under close supervision). The footshift is the best and most reliable of the Honda transmissions. Let her learn it. We need kids to be flexible and adapt instead of trying to change the world around them. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
