Atv transmission My sportsman just started clicking today. It only does it when it's in gear, High, Low, Reverse. If I'm moving in neutral fast, it doesn't do it. The faster I go, the faster and louder it gets. Just wondering what it might be.

Check out the clutch assembly and your belt that's attached to it u fee the right(if sitting on machine) engine cover, it's plastic & easy to deal with!

this could be a trans issue

If you have a primary and secondary clutch, and your ATV still fails to move with proof that they are working, my best advice would be to check the pilot shaft and the gears for excessive wear. Even in new products, the case of excessive wear can be well known, and it would be wise to take it back to the dealer if you continue to have the problem.

Check your u joints or CV joints. Does the clicking speed up when the ATV speeds up? does it click worse when turning? Is there a stick or something jammed up in there somewhere?

Is this an electric shift?? SORRY.. take it to a qualified professional!!

remember on early models there was a safety pin that had to be held to switch to reverse,,,your 500 does this automatically so check for safety pin hookup. Could be brush or
grass jammed in where it moves.

check the shift rod from the shift box going to the back to the transmission for being bent

Solution#1 worked perfectly. It only took about 15 minutes all together.
the side panel removes easily. It just slides out of the other panel. Once you have removed the handle (Shifter) and the other two bracket bolts, just place it back into the shifter housing and move it around. I was amazed at how easy this was to repair. I also turned the ignition to the on position to see if it was changing gears and it was.

I tried this today and it worked. Pull the sideplate from the ATV so that you have access to the gear shifter assembly. Unbolt the gearshift assembly from the mounting bracket. There are two bolts at the rear near the two rods that exit the assembly and three on the bottom. When the bolts are out, remove the assembly from the mounting bracket. Hold it in your hand and move the shift lever through all of the positions. This won't actually shift the transmission, but it should free up the rods in the assembly. Remount the assembly with the five bolts and it should now be able to shift out of reverse.
