1995 Magnum 425 Shifting Issue

[amccaul]

I have a 1995 Magnum 425 4x4 which I purchased new. It has low mileage as it was used around farm until replaced by Ranger five years ago:biggrin: now my 11 year old son wants to upgrade from his Sportsman 90 and since the 425 is not used I let him have it as his since he puts many hours in the Ranger on the farm. Prior to parking it I was having issues with it going from reverse to forward. It will not fully engage and just click. I adjusted the linkage and it would go in forward fine but then not in reverse. If I adjust to go into reverse it then will not engage fully in forward. I do not mind putting some money in this machine for my son but have no idea what part may be worn out. Thanks for any help in advance.

i think that there is a plastic part that connects the linkage at the gear selector and it sometimes wears out. thats the only thing i have heard before that fails ...
