This is my first SXS so maybe this is normal but it just doesn't seem right. My Pioneer is pretty tough to switch between R, N, D and back most of the time. Then when it goes into gear, it kind of "clangs" into gear. Just does not seem right for a Honda, what am I missing?
I've tried all sorts of different ways of shifting, ensuring there is not stress on the transmission. Level ground, foot on the brake, D, to N, to R, back--it's usually pretty rough.
I was thinking maybe it's because of the climate (I'm in CO) but that does not seem to be the case either, because usually it's around 60 degrees and even after an hour of riding it's still the same thing.
I checked the shifter linkage under the front hood, and everything looks normal, I followed the cable all the way down the side and underneath into the transmission and everything looks normal as far as I can tell.
I'd like to know if anyone is familiar with this--is it normal? Same thing on the Big Reds?
