Hey y’all, so I have this 02 Honda foreman rubicon 500fa that I just got running after who knows how long. But a couple issue came with the start up and I need some help. 
 

1.  While idling and full throttle it’s smoking pretty bad. I think it’s the jug and/or piston rings.  Could someone tell me if I’m on the right path. 
 

2.   When I put it into drive, the hondamatic has a high pitch squealing and it barely moves. I put it in reverse and doesn’t move at all.  
 

Any ideas or possibilities I can look into?

How does the spark plug look shiny black or matt black, what color is the smoke, does it ever let up or smoking continuously.  Trans coulld possibly be a bad bearing does it have plenty of fluid in it.

There was a fellah in here a while back had the same symptoms, the squeal, stripped it right down and found nothing, put it back together and it seemed to be right.. Do a search for hondamatic and you mioht find it.. I think it was in this site.. If not it was over the way and I'll have a look tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure he found nothing..  Might have just needed an oil change.. haha

      After i did my rebuild it seems to not want to shift well. I think the cable is alright, and when it does shift its nice and solid. I have to basically use my hand to shift and i have to pull or push it very far, like max travel, to get it to shift. I also tried adjusting the clutch set screw. Any ideas where to go next, or maybe i should just grab a new cable to try.

      I am unable to find a wiring diagram for this UTV.  When I turn the switch to on, the contractor does not engage.  The Brake pressure switch and the parking brake switches work correctly. What else should I be looking for?  All of the diagrams I have found are for newer models and the wire color coding is different.
       
      Thanks

      I have a 2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems.
      Usually it shifts ok when cold but after couple minutes it will stop shifting with no codes.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in first gear is 74psi. The 2nd shift clutch oil pressure when in second gear is 74psi.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in neutral is zero. The problem is when the tranny is in neutral the 2nd shift clutch pressure starts around 10-15psi and builds to 20psi. Is this normal?
