Never ridden two wheeler. Had a1983 Honda 3-wheeler for many years...similar "clutchless" shift. I just got this one last week for cheap. Trying to figure out the actual condition. I rode it just a couple of times before starting work on it. Crankcase was full of fuel...got that sorted out and cleaned the carb. Right now it's jacked up waiting on brake parts...cylinders blown in both wheels, right side didn't even have shoes! Not worn out or broken...not even THERE! While waiting, I thought I would try to figure out the shift issue. Just for background, I'm 65 years old and road submarines for twenty years. Former nuclear engineer...new to 4-wheeler maintenance 🙂 I certainly appreciate your help!

Are you saying de-couple the shift cable from the output shaft and rotate it to a new position and tighten back up? Forgive my ignorance... It won't shift when running/rolling, not just stationary.

All of the above...I just got it. It won't shift above 2nd running, not running, rocking...nothing. 1st and 2nd is a solid "click". After that, nothing. No matter how many times I pull up on the shifter or how hard, two clicks down and I'm back to neutral.

Got engine issues sorted out...kinda. Engine starts easy and idles smooth. It had gasoline in the crankcase...lots of it. Drained, changed, and fixed stuck float. Now it won't shift into 3rd, 4th or 5th. Reverse works as it should. 1st and 2nd click easy and with no abnormal noise. 4WD, superlow, and LOCK all seem to work. What should I check next?

Hello! New member here! Retired Navy Submarine veteran living in Georgia. I just picked up a 1998 Suzuki Quadrunner LT-F250 for CHEAP. Small 4WD double locker was exactly what I needed. It had LOTS of issues...gasoline in the crankcase, NO brake shoes, blown wheel cylinder, smokes BAD, only shifts into 1st, 2nd, and reverse, etc. Looking for all the help I can get to sort things out.
