Been researching Foremans. How come on some models, there is the 4-high and 4-low shifter on the body on the left side and on some it is just an empty space where the shift lever should be? Is the shift lever missing on the manual models and you just put it in 1st gear for 4-low?

Are you asking about the lack of a shifter lever on the ES models versus the FM models..? Those ES models are shifted electrically using Up/Down buttons on the left handlebar.

No, not the foot shifter. There is a two position lever right above the left knee. I think is is the 4-hi / 4-low selector, but not all of the foremans have it.

The Foreman Rubicon? Thats an automatic trans... its electronically controlled. None of the Foremans have high/low range trannies tho.

Never mind. Found this pic and this description:

(* Only available with the DCT Rubicon) Dual Range Drive / Low Shifter:
Like a full-sized four-wheel-drive truck, Rubicon DCT models feature a drive/low range in its gearbox, so you can choose the perfect gear for crawling over technical terrain, pulling heavy loads or cruising on smoother trails.

Ahh yeah, I forgot about the new DCTs. Are you gonna buy one?

No, I'm wanting the foot shift model. I was just curious about the shift lever. I guess no need on a manual transmission.

Its an extra storage pocket on the fs models

that lever is also used on trx420's to go from 2wd to 4wd on manual shift models.
