The Trouble with Toys
The problem with toys is that it's impossible to keep them all working right. Or, if it's not impossible, then in certainly eats a lot of time/money. Jennifer's Red Honda Rancher 4x4 ES won't shift into reverse. I found this diagnosis online. So, I tore a lot of plastic off the ATV and finally found the parts they were referring to (online and in my printed manual). But I tried doing Honda's diagnosis and they said basically "the first thing you should try is to manually shift it into reverse...if that doesn't work, you're hosed". So, I tried manually shifting it into reverse and it wouldn't go. The deal is you put a 12 mm box wrench on the manual gear shift and pull up (I assume, as pushing down puts it in 1st). So, I can't get it to go into reverse, which sucks. I'm thinking the honda shop is going to have a field day with this one. I hate to think how much it will cost. My guess is a grand. Sucks.
