Need help with 2011 rancher 420

Hopefully you guys can help me out. My brother in law has a 2011 honda rancher 420 es. He has been through 3 shift solenoids because the gear on the solenoid keeps breaking. Any ideas on why this keeps happening? And also ant way to convert to a manual shift since he is having so many problems out of the electric shift? Thanks in advance.
