Was wondering if I can get some help on the problem that a lot of people had with these Autoshift ATVs. Been busy reading but can’t seem to find where anyone has found the answer, if so they don’t post it.

I have 2005 Honda TRX400FA and works fine in ESP mode but when in Autoshift going slow it "bogs down and has no power". There are no error codes and and if you let it stop and take off it works ok till you slow down again. Some of the suggestions have been to replace the clutch, although there was a recall (I believe it was an ECM update) on the 2004 for the EXACT SAME ISSUE, but not not on the 2005 which is odd.

The ATV has 952 miles, the oil is good (Honda Oil) and connections seem good along with the angle sensor. I just took it in to the dealer and it is going to be a week before they can actually look at it, but they also suggest a complete clutch job at around $900.00 installed.

Has anyone found the answer to this problem and if it was the clutch did it stay fixed? I don’t won’t to be replacing the clutch every 900 miles, if that is the case ATV has to go. Thanks in advance. Carl
