just bought a 03 rancher es and it wont go in gear with the es so we tried it with the manual shifter, it sounds like it goes in gear (it clicks) but it wont pull, still sounds like it is in neutral when you give it the gas. Does anyone have any idea or had this problem before.. Thanks

Since no one answered you and I have no real clue why it wouldn't go into gear I googled it for you.

Sounds like a sensor which determines if the engine is in gear or not goes out. If it is out it won't move. Although it shouldn't start either so who knows.

We answered him in his other thread...or trying to anyway. The gauge cluster is indicating it is in gear and out of neutral...sounds like the electronics are working fine.

I agree if it was a sensor it would be giving an error code.

go to docsatvservice(dot)com and he has a bolt on hand or foot shifter for the ES models. i have this on my foreman 450 and when i get into the woods it gets me out. And on docsatvservice(dot)com he has a module that bypasses the ES wirings and is direct. i put that on my foreman and now i can go through mud and it will work and the ES has not given anymore problems since. his number is 601-659-9931
