2010 RZR800, shifter only goes from park to reverse?? Help!

ramblon · Oct 23, 2015

Howdy,

I'm hoping this problem has been encountered by others and hopefully it's not too expensive of a fix.

Purchased a used 2010 RZR800 (low mileage, minimum wear) this past spring and have had no issues at all until a recent trip to a desert mountain in Arizona. Heading downhill on a minor grade, was unable to get the engine to stick in any gear, had to coast to camp in neutral. Upon return to camp, the shifter would only go from park to reverse, completely locked from getting to neutral, low or high gear.

Any thoughts, ideas or any out there who've experienced this issue? Trying to get an idea of what I'm looking at and where to start.

Thank you guys in advance!

Have you visually inspected the shift lever on the side of the transmission? Anything lodged in between the case and the lever? Is the shift cable in good condition and adjusted properly?

Kevin,

So back at the transmission you will find the shift cable connected to a lever.

Use a crescent wrench or channel lock pliers to move the lever.

If all is good in the Trans, you will be able to shift through all the gear ranges. As you work through the ranges with the lever, start the machine and see if it moves in the correct direction.

What the instrument console reads comes from a sensor on the other side of the Trans.

Give this a try and let us know what you find.

Thank you guys very much for the input.

I'll take a look and let you know what I find.

Anyone out there ever have a similar issue?

From what you have posted the shift cable is probably toast.
