multiple issues after synthetic oil use

Hey there,I’m new to this forum
I live in hazelton bc and have a 99 tractor.
Wondering if anyone could give some advice …

I recently did an oil change and used Lucas synthetic 10w40 wet clutch safe. Only now am I informed that synthetic oil is bad for this quad unfortunately.

After this I noticed a ticking sound in the engine that is directly related to engine rpms.
Over the days the ticking has gotten quite loud and sounds like its coming from the cylinder head.
Also just yesterday the quad has stopped shifting now. It’s stuck in 2ND gear and won’t shift up or down. When u press the shift button, you can hear the engine lag a little as it tries to shift but nothing happens.

And thirdly, now my temp light is on all the time.
I’ve stopped driving it since the non shift issue.
And have since done another oil change with non synthetic oil.

Is there a way to find out what the problem is with out buying that solenoid tester?
Or any tips on what I should do or what the ticking is?

Thank you!

Hi I’m new and looking g for an answer to a question. On a 1995 Kodiak the ball joint is made onto the a arm. I want to know if there is an a arm off of a grizzly that will interchange so I can change out ball joints with out buying the whole a arm. Hard to explain on here. But any help I sure appreciate from anyone. Thanks
