ATV Repair and Maintenance Shift linkage 1996 400 sportsman January 3, 2016 My sportsman is having a tough time going into forward from reverse. I’ve read on here and inmy Haynes manual the linkage should be adjusted. I put a 10mm socket on the nut but it just spins the ball on the linkage. Any ideas on how to free it?
