Well I guess I finally rode it hard enough. Went to shift out of neutral into first and heard a loud pop...now nothing. I was doing something stupid at the time. My buddy was standing right behind me as I was sitting in a bit of mud, so I thought it would be fun to cover him with mud, so I gave her a little gas (about 1/4 throttle) and shifted out of neutral into first, which this usually results in a nice spin out with mud being thrown everywhere, well not this time...instead I hear a loud clunk.
It will shift through all the gears (including reverse) but it just does not move. I can rev the engine but the transmission or drive train is just not engaging or something. As I rev the engine while it is in gear there are no clicking or grinding noises or anything.

Might be something like a broken rinkage or u-joint or something??

Any suggestions?

SOUNDS LIKE THE U JOINT.

 

[aksone]

How hard isit to fix/replace a u-joint?

Is it something a neophyte can accomplish or should I take it in to the shop?

 

[SASQUATCH]

If it was your U joint you would hear some grinding and other nasty sounds. If you put it in netural can you roll it at all?

 

[aksone]

Yes it will roll in neutral, actually it will roll in any gear. When it rolls, there is a grinding, clunking noise.

I'd say you detonated the clutch. That's a bummer.

you broke what honda calls the final output shaft..... i broke 2 of them on my 2x4 foreman and since it was under warranty honda covered it both times....just don't tell them the reason it broke....say you down shifted on a hill and snap......you still have a warranty on yours? they should cover it
