honda trx 300 fourtrax shifter help?????????

Question

i have a 92 300 honda fourtrax 2wd atv. when i purchased the atv someone had tried to weld the shifter lever back dn where it had broken off. i replaced the shifter shaft with a new one and also replaced the ratchet,the gear drum and pretty much everything from the end of the shifter drum. it seemed to ratchet and work fine while jacked up in the air but after putting the side cover back on and starting the machine it grinded when trying to shift it finally went into gear and is now stuck it will not shift up or down. i tried adjusting the clutch screw that is located on the right hand side but didnt seen to make any difference. has anyone worked on one of these that could give me some insight on what do do? it would be greatly appr. thanks

it shifted normal and smooth before replacing the shiter shaft and the other parts

Answer 1

The motor will have to be disassembled. The "shift forks" are worn or bent and will have to be replaced. That's why the previous owner had to weld the shift lever on. It was so hard to shift and trying to put extra pressure on the shift lever, he striped the splines on the shift shaft or broke the lever,

Answer 2

hay, pull she side cover off again, make sure the trans is in neutral look over shift shaft, make sure the spring is still on the arm for drum togs also make sure the drum togs are still installed, go to Honda and get a service Manuel if you still have problems. it is also possible you have bent shift forks. but not likely if it was all right before. good luck:)
