Honda rubicon 500 engaging

Im new here..I have a 02 500 rubicon..i got hung up on a log…it backed up fine…spun tires good…no slipping of any kind..i ususlly have to rock it back n forth a little to go thru N R n Drive…I run it in automatic…speedo hasnt worked since ive had it….so..it was a little roughh to go into N so i could lift it off the log…I kinda felt as if I had to force it in N…I got it off the log n put it in drive n nothing won’t pull in D or R…I think the end of the shaft that goes into trans might have stripped or something…it doesn’t attempt to engage at all…My N light n R lights are on..I took of the shift linkage from the shifter…I put vice grips to turn that shaft n nothing…with me turning the shaft, like its in Drive, they should be sum resistance like it being in gear correct?? It rolls just like its n N all the time…any help appreciated…had a few mech yell me my hondamatic is bad..but I just don’t think so….never had any problems except for the shifter being rough..

Sportsman 500 HO carb issue

I have a 2012 500 HO that is leaking gas out of the clear plastic tubing that is attached to the carb bowl. there is a small plastic disk attached to the tubing in line. The tubing runs to below the skid plate. I unscrewed the bowl nut and drained the bowl but it’s still leaking. I keep the ATV in the garage and the gas smell is getting to me.

Any ideas how to stop the leaking?

Thanks

Water pump seal

So I bought the tool to install the second one. Still leaking as soon as I put water in. I removed it and went over it again can’t see anything wrong so tried a 3Rd seal using the tool install ithe. Sa mm email thing as soon as I put water in it comes out of the weepeople hole. Any ideas dealer what’s 3 hours to troubleshoot at $100 hr.

2006 Temperature Light

I have a 2006 Outlander and had noticed that my radiator fan wasn’t ever coming Onondaga the bike felt very warm. I had posted earlier and was told to check my sensor (mounted to the radiator). I jumped it out and the fan cam on and stayed on as long as it was jumped. I ordered a new one. I checked the antifreeze and seem to have plenty, but I get an overheat light, even if the engine is cold. Could it be that the antifreeze is not circulating. How do you check that? Or, if it is the head sensor (which I also ordered), how hard is that to replace and what are the steps.
