Grinding in low and popping out of gear

on mine on fast 3 point turns it seems to be a delay sometimes goin from R to L ill have to wait for it. im just at 100 miles now hopefully its just a cable adjustment it never popped out tho

I have an x. It did the same thing. It eventually would not even go into low at all. Would just sit and grind. It’s in the shop now and I will post what they did to fix it.

I've searched this a little, but haven't found a definitive answer.

Machine is basically brand new, just had the 20 hr service done at the dealer, also had them adjust the shift cable. It helped but didn't solve the problem.

Occasionally, after it's in low, I'll get on it and it will pop back out. I feel like the gate for low isn't designed correctly. I saw a post where a guy clearanced the gate further back.

How many hours or miles?

I really hope honda issues a recall shift gate. There is a lot of people with the same issue. Also a lot of people who say "oh, you need to shift into low, watch the dash, and wiggle the shifter back and forth to make sure it's in gear"

Are you kidding me? If it's the low gate, it should be in low.

I thought about making a new gate out of some aluminum or uhmw, but I didn't want the dealer to not cover the transmission under warranty because I modified something.

So they are replacing my sub transmission. I would definitely get yours to the shop maybe they can fix it before the su goes out.

Also I have 2000 miles on mine.

They can be quite sticky with add ons for sure. There is a shift gate available already that will shift hi to rev, or low to rev easily but that seems problematic to me.

Its been in the shop over a week, last I heard from them, they were still working on the I4WD problem

What was the prognosis ? Were the dog gears worn or rounded over ? That's what happened to mine, and Honda's only covering parts, not labor. Such bullshit.

The shop guy did not say. He just said it was getting a new sub transmission. He said Honda was going to cover it.
