I know nothing about four wheelers/engines in general, I've had this thing for less than a year. It's an automatic transmission. You push it into high, low, neutral or reverse. When it's in reverse it's fine, but when going forward the tranny is slipping though. Neither my dad nor I know how transmissions work on these things. He says if it's like a chainsaw, then it won't cost that much to fix. Otherwise though, it'll cost tons. He kept telling me to look in the manual to find where the dipstick is for the transmission oil. I looked and looked and can't find anything about it. There is only one dipstick and that's for the engine oil, as far as I'm aware. Only thing in the book is talking about what recommended type of engine/transmission oil to use.

We need the year and model of the machine.

In general they are a CVT transmission with a wet clutch. If the belt is slipping you would probably hear a squealing noise. If it feels like its slipping with no noise, it could be the wet clutch shoes, most likely cause is using oil that is not wet clutch certified. You have to use the right oil in these machines. If you use regular engine oil, it contains friction modifiers that will cause the wet clutch to slip and burn up eventually.

Third picture you posted is the cover for the CVT. You can download a free service manual which has all the specs and guides in it for free at countrycat.com , look under technical section. You will need the year and model to download the correct manual.

My pictures are from a 2010 366, similar design, only difference will be the part number for the belt. I replaced this belt because of the cracks on the inside of it. Width was still good, and no glazing on the sides.

 

If this is slipping, you would hear it squealing, if your not hearing a squeal, I suspect you have the wrong oil in the quad and its your wet clutches slipping. If your not sure of what oil you used, change it out to the right stuff.

      2000 Yamaha Breeze 125 slips in Forwards, runs fine in reverse
      By hengstserepair
      Howdy ya'll. I am working ona 2000 Yamaha Breeze 125. It was in rought shape when I received it and I am working through issues as they pop up. The quad had been sitting for years. I was able to get her running again, but I need your help with the following issue:
      I don't trust the transmission yet and I don't want to make problems any worse. So, I haven't pushed things hard at all. Low rpms, less than 5mph in reverse.

      Nuetral: Runs as expected
      Reverse: She seems to be driving fine at slow speeds. Going into reverse at idle is fine, coming out of reverse back into neutral won't work (the shifter is just stuck). As soon as I turn off the quad, I am able to shift around without any issue.
      Forward: It slips. It seems to only transfer power to the wheels on a smooth surface and going slightly downhill. When shifting into forward at idle, there is a clacking sounds during the transition. Shifting back to nuetral works just fine.

      Other Notable Symptoms: There was old oil in the vbelt and when I was tuning the carb, it starting blowing out of the CVT cooling vent at the front of the quad. Made quite a mess. There is positive crankcase pressure due to piston blowby, that I have not decided whether or not I am going to fix (customer budget dependant).  Since the oil was old, much darker than the new oil that is in the crankcase, I am thinking it seeped past a bad seal while it was sitting for years. The oil that was in it when I first got it had gas in it.

      Thoughts: I am thinking maybe there is an issue with the clutch. I worry about the old oil intermingling with the dry centrifugal clutch. I was thinking my next step would be to take the cover off of the clutch and inspect it.

      Let me know what you all think. Any advice and ideas is greatly appreciated. This is only the 3rd quad I have worked on and I have a lot to learn.

      Reverse Cable Routing
      By sandman001
      This 2006 ArticCat dvx400 didn't have a reverse cable. I got one and am wondering how it routes? If someone has a dvx400, could post a pic of there reverse cable routing, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

      1998 Kawasaki Bayou 400 4x4 Electrical Issue (Neutral light intermittently turns on and off)
      By T37Mark
      HI everyone. New to this forum. I have 98 Kawasaki Bayou 400 with an apparent electrical issue. I have the Clymer manual, but I am not exactly sure where to start. The issue started a month ago and the neutral light would go on and off intermittently. Eventually it went completely off , and I thought it was a shifting issue. I took the case off and checked the clutch and all mechanical shifting components are good, so I think I eliminated that. The switch sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Last time I tried, I did hear a clicking sound near where the battery is right before the light went out. Does anyone have any ideas where to start? Hoping this is an easy fix.
