I am a new member. I own tractors, trucks, jeeps, etc. But this is my first ATV. I have been reading and searching for the past week for information. Pretty much ever since I came across the 1985 TRX250 that I bought. Its in somewhat rough shape. It kinda a bashed in and the previous owner couldn’t get it moving.
I bought it for $220, it starts but the transmission wont engage. I have read about a few machines that were stuck in gear (As opposed to stuck in neutral or not engaging) and I am wondering your thoughts before I start opening up the machine.
So, I got it back home. Checked the oil, dirty but not low. Hooked up a battery from my riding lawn mower, got the headlight and neutral (after some shifting) light to light up. So started it up, and wow is it quiet for a 30 yo machine with half a muffler. Click the shifter up, which feels like its changing gears but without a lot of spring back. And it wont move.
My thoughts are that it would be a clutch or drive shaft it, because it feels good and the neutral light goes off. Where would you start???
Thanks and if you need any additional information just let me know.
