Any way to decode the vin to find out what year it is? Its pretty rough and all i can find is what i believe to be the vin on the right side frame right in front of the shift lever. #2283388

Im trying to get it running again but a lot of the wiring is messed up. I found the repair manual for the late 90s polaris atvs but its got three separate wiring diagrams in it. One for 96, 97, and 98. Pretty sure it not a 95 because the main drive has a belt not a chain, which i believe i read on here only 95s were chain drive. Ive looked at all three diagrams and found discrepancys in all of them compared to what i have (Which has been hacked up badly)

Also is there some kind of release for the gear selector? It wont move at all.

Thanks for your help. This is my first post here but ive already learned a lot just browsing the last couple days.
