1994 polaris explorer 300 transmission

[tikaani]

I just bought this machine and it wasn't shifting into gear cleanly. I have been fiddling with the rods from the shifter to the transmission and now have reverse consistently, but can't get forward gears. I had lo forward before I start messing. Is there a trick? Some guideline to adjust to? Thanks for any help.,

Can you see anything that may be bent or loose? If all the linkage is tight and in order, I would mess with the adjustments untill you get it or you figure out that it can't be adjusted. The only thing I can suggest is to make adjustments one thing at a time, don't mess with a buch of adjustments at once, it is harder to pinpoint the promlem that way. If it can't be adjusted with the shift rod adjustments, you may have a problem with the gear selector assembly. Your problem could also be internal, something like a bent shift fork or internal shift shaft. Hopefully someone who knows these machines better will chime in with something, until then, good luck.
