I bought said atv from someone. It had mismatched tires and had hit a tree with it. I got the correct tires and took it for a spin and it stalled. Started back up after a little coaxing. After it fired the starter would not stop running. Got back to the garage quick and unhooked the battery. Now its stuck in gear. Wont go into neutral and the starter runs constantly when the battery is hooked up. My question is are the problems related or are they separate and what's wrong? Any helps appreciated

Separate problems
Check to see if the shifter lever is slipping on the splines—maybe the bolt is just loose.
If it’s flopping up and down then quite possibly the spring that returns the lever to it’s center position is broken. The case will have to be removed—on a scale of 1-10 it’s a 4.

As for the starter, replace the solenoid. AVOID ebay/Amazon they won't last.. Buy OEM or from a reputable aftermarket spares company
