Superwinch terra circuit breaker

I just installed a terra 35 I’m my 2013 rancher ES and was not to happy with the breaker provided by superwinch. With no way to mount it, and having to wrap many layers of electric tape I thought was poor at best. here is what I did, and is in the trunk behind the tail light.

2005 Honda Rancher TRX400FA Autoshift Problems

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

Something slipping

I have an 04 Honda rancher AT 400. I just got bigger tires on it. 26in. The problem is that when I turn hard left or go up a step hill something starts grinding. Maybe the tranny? Any help will do

Diesel Flush for Rancher 400FA? Looking for instructions.

Hi All,

New to the forum…

I’m looking for some instructions to perform an engine flush on my 400FA. Such as amounts, steps to take, number of times, etc….all the ins-n-outs of doing a diesel flush. Or is it really as easy as draining the oil, pouring in diesel, letting it soak (for how long?), draining the diesel and adding/draining oil a few times (should the engine be run for a short time during these oil cycles?)??

Thanks all, great forum!

Shifting problems

I have a 2014 honda rancher AT 420
I recently bought
Having troubles with the shifting. It struggles to get shifted into gears but won’t shift past 3rd. Then the shift indicator goes to a dash.
And sometimes in certain position it’ll rev and won’t move like it’s stalling out. Anyone have any ideas?
