Look at all the posts on here that talk about shifting problems on '03 and older es. They aren't very reliable, and you can't hold a cup of coffee and shift at the same time.:lol:why would you want to switch from es to S?
I can hold a cup of coffee and a beer. NO issues with mine.Look at all the posts on here that talk about shifting problems on '03 and older es. They aren't very reliable, and you can't hold a cup of coffee and shift at the same time.:lol:
all foreman have a gear position indicator S or ES. just on the es model if you where to use the emergency shifter as your primary shifter the indicator will just blink what gear your in. my service manual says continued use can cause internal damage to the master shift arm and lever must be operated by hand and never by foot.I don't think the foot shift Foreman 450 shows the gear position anyway, does it? I believe the 350 Rancher shows the gear position when using the emergency shifter, I think it does, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I still can't remember the foot shift 450s have a gear position indicator on the display, but I might be wrong. I know the 500s do, but I didn't think the 450s did unless it was the ES model.all foreman have a gear position indicator S or ES. just on the es model if you where to use the emergency shifter as your primary shifter the indicator will just blink what gear your in. my service manual says continued use can cause internal damage to the master shift arm and lever must be operated by hand and never by foot.
I believe all the shift linkage is exactly the same, whether it's ES or manual shift, other than the shifter shaft not having splines on the ES models. I think the problem is because the dogs on the gears are different.my service manual says continued use can cause internal damage to the master shift arm and lever must be operated by hand and never by foot.
I have an 2003 foreman s and there is no gear indicator on mine.all foreman have a gear position indicator S or ES. just on the es model if you where to use the emergency shifter as your primary shifter the indicator will just blink what gear your in. my service manual says continued use can cause internal damage to the master shift arm and lever must be operated by hand and never by foot.
My 2003 has a light for neutral and one for reverseI still can't remember the foot shift 450s have a gear position indicator on the display, but I might be wrong. I know the 500s do, but I didn't think the 450s did unless it was the ES model.
