here we go we got my 2007 honda foreman 500
we have an electrical shift issue let's uh go ahead and then take a look
so the story with this one it ships fine when it's driving around
but when it gets really hot it doesn't shift well so from what i heard it's the electrical shifter
so here's the part number i got i got the oem one
so you know this one was like 200 you can find them cheaper
like knockoffs for like half the price but so the motor is i can't see it it's down there in front
of the engine here so i'm going to make some access here and then i'll work on replacing this
all right so i took this side panel off to get to the electrical plug so you can see the
shift electric shift motor right there here's the wire that goes to it it connects
right there so i'm going to just unplug that there and then there's some bolts
underneath mine's missing the skid plate so i think i have access to it under there
i have it jacked up a bit so let's get this thing unplugged and then unbolted
all right there we are from underneath there's four bolts on there as you can see from this new
one there's four bolt hole bolt holes there also is looks like a sensor that goes in that hole on
the right so i'm going to try to use that old sensor that's on there so i'm gonna undo the
four bolts and then undo that sensor and then transfer that over and then we can take a look
all right so i went to pop the cap and looks like there's a bunch of oil behind there so
it's a little bit of a surprise but i guess that makes sense so go ahead and pull this off now
it looks like there's a rubber gasket behind there it looks like it's all sludged up
okay let's clean this up a bit and uh we'll transfer the other one over
here's what it looks like in there
here's just a little closer look at the old one so i need to transfer over this gear
to here's my new one you know i bet if i just clean this one up it might work but since i have
this new one i am going to install the new one and then there's that sensor spot right there
there's a sensor right there there's a little nub it goes into over there you know if this
doesn't work i can almost replace that sensor maybe that's the issue but i'm
going to swap all this stuff over maybe throw some grease in those new bearings
but uh i will uh get this new one installed
all right the new one actually slid in there really easy put the four
bolts in there there's one bolt that is a little longer so just make way of that and then
reconnected it up there so i'm gonna throw this wheel back on there
and then uh see if this thing actually shifts
all right the moment of truth hopefully there's no flashing lights
well just the time slashing which is what i was doing before at least the
neutral light is not flashing maybe i could try to start this thing up quick
all right that's a good sign
oh she's shipped oh first gear that's good
nice it sounds better sounds like it shifts a lot easier neutral i mean reverse oh heck yeah
oh it does shift a lot easier now a lot of times i'd have to push
from reverse to neutral i have to push like four or five times to get it back up
but awesome man look at that it's freaking going woohoo
second
all right
i am happy with this
looks like we got it fixed first neutral all right
awesome i was kind of worried about that but it seems like it's working really well
you know i have a video about me fixing this four wheeler up so i'll link that
in there maybe near the end here but uh yeah it really wasn't too hard to uh change that
electric shift motor
for having shifting issues maybe give that a try thank you for watching see in the next one
