OK i got a 05 raptor... Does anyone else have problems with reverse not kicking into gear? i know how get by it i was just wandeing if it was just me...
 
the best way ive found to get my warrior into reverse is to shift to 1st gear, then pull the clutch in pull the reverse lever into reverse while engaging and disengaging the clutch. works good for me everytime
 
My 06 has a ****** reverse as well. Some members on this site told me to release the clutch a little bit as you shift into and out of reverse and it worked. My reverse still sucks IMO but thanks to this site I can make it work most of the time.
 
the only problem is shifting out of reverse...

...evrey time i put it in the foreward position and shift into first (i put it in reverse when its in nuteral) and release the clutch, it makes a grinding sound...like when you try to shift a car and dont push the clutch in all the way. but it is a smaller sound

WTF- wiskey-tango-foxtrot over
 
I've noticed a few things with reverse.... the first that I noticed was that when shifting back to "forward" you have to mess with it a little to sort of latch/lock into place. If you don't it seems to pop out and put you in a sort of wierd "neutral state" that grinds like ws350 mentioned above.

The second thing that I have noticed is that sometimes when switching to reverse while in Neutral, the quad will start going backwards without giving it any gas, gotta make sure that I have my foot on the break. Mind you this is with the clutch pulled in. Not sure if it's a clutch adjustment or something else, but I have experienced this.

The one other problem that I have had, only occurred once so far. I was sitting in first gear, shifted to reverse and backed partly up a hill, and then tried to shift back into forward. It wouldn't get out of reverse, it was locked there. Not sure if I pinched something or what, but after messing with it for a couple of minutes (five or so) it finally went back to forward. Ever since then I've been shifting to reverse only with the tranny in nuetral.
 
yea well i just put it in first and keep it there till im done with reverse then switch it back and then just go.... withouth shiftin... so i dunno.... and also WaTCH seriously i just cleaned out my oil and found metal shaving in it...
