I have an 05 honda rancher trx350fm 4×4. All manual except for the electric start. Now to the really wierd problem. This happens at random. Outside temp and motor temp makes no difference. It likes to get stuck in first gear randonly and only first gear. When it does happen. It wont shift up or down for a bit. After a bit of it being stuck. It will shift but its hard but it will work for the remainder of the run. There is no way to trigger it to happen on command. Its completely random. Been in shop for 2 weeks as is for this. Happened once to them and they have no idea what it is. Yet it happened at least 70% during the my hunting trip the week prior. Went from hunting straight to the shop. They claimed all fluids are good, gears looks good, everything is good. I asked about the synchronizer but he didnt know about it. Hopefully i didnt confuse anyone about the problem and actually knows how to fix it. As i said. It randomly happens, never consistant.
