95 trx400fw mods and upgrade questions 424 and clutching

hello

i have a few questions, i read through 10 pages ish and did not seeing much relevant i figured id post my own. i did how ever find some neat stuff.
first i have a 95 400 that i bartered for a $600 boat i bought, ive ran it for 2 years not doing anything but light service. full snorkeled, and i was told a spool or some sort of permanent locker. i havent confirmed that yet. a little bit ago it stopped shifting into second or higher, revense neutral and 1st all day long. after some research i see that bolt #28 might be backed out causing my problem. i took the front cover off and nothing seems to be wrong there, pretty sure i have to pull the rear cover off.

so since im going to be in there. was wondering on a whole what were the best or most popular mods? my readings found me the warn 424 kit which i would love, but i read someones post that the shaft length isnt available for the 400? can somone confirm or deny this. if it is true is there any way to get it to work. i feel that the throttle response and power would make it fun enough for me not to think of buying a new quad. ive read about using the clutch basket and final gear off a 300, but that guy was swapping in the 450 jug and piston. not sure what the gear change does to top end versus the low end gain on a 400? thoughts??

Need 400ex starting/idling help

so i have a 2008 400ex. ive never really had any problems with it but lately its been tough to start. i dont really know how to explain it but it wont idle without the choke and bogs/cuts out when i give it a little throttle to keep it running, once it gets warmed up it runs fine and will idle good if i turn to the left so its giving it just a little bit of throttle. but with the wheels straight it idles low and will die. the chain came off a while ago so it was sitting for a little while (maybe 3 weeks.. maybe longer im not sure) it was smoking but im pretty sure it was just carbon build up. i changed the spark plug and have been riding it a little bit and the smoke has gone away. i was thinking maybe the carb needs cleaned? maybe bigger jets? as far as i know its 100% stock. oh one more thing, the air filter was very dirty. i cleaned it the best i could but i plan on replacing it soon. maybe thats the problem?

I REALLY need help. 300ex new brakes sticking

I just replaced the front brake pads on my 300ex. but they wont let the wheels turn unless i really crank on them. i Drove it around to see if they just needed to wear in, but they wont let up. I tried bleeding the brakes and i had the piston all the way in. whats wrong with them?
