I have a Honda 300ex trx. Long story short the engine blew years ago and recently we started to rebuild it piston,rods,timing chain,cams, and clutch. In the process of rebuilding it we noticed it wouldn’t shift up or down. We think it’s stuck in neutral but it won’t shift with the clutch engaged, I check the clutch and everything seems to be working/engaging fine we also checked the transmission and even rebuilt it  (looking off a diagram) . Please help!! Thanks!

Can you get it to shift if the motor is off and you are pushing the ATV forcing the gears to move and engine to rotate?

Can you confirm the clutch is releasing and engaging by pushing the quad with the motor off?

Revisiting and wondering if I'm overlooking this EX model is an electric shift?

Wondering if the EX model is electric shift or manual?

The engine is out of the 300ex if you grab the shifting tree that the shfiting lever connects to you can go through all the gears but if you try to shift via  shifting lever it won’t shift through the gears

Message on insta @ynw._nate I’ll send a video of what it’s doing

That motor uses the more sophisticated ratchet pawl design for the shifter as opposed to a claw/Star design. I strongly suggest you get a shop service manual and go through the transmission chapter pertaining to the shifting mechanism and go from there. Too much to explain here and without you and the machine present its very hard to teach you about handling those little ratchet Pawl's and their springs along with their retention plate.

      I’ve got a 2000 400ex with a dg slip on muffler, it came with he stock muffler on it but the previous owner had the dg in a box so I put it on. I’ve been riding it for the past month and a half and every time I let off it backfires, and the other day the backfires got way louder, 2x louder! I’m concerned that I may hurt my motor? Why does is backfire??? Thanks

      My name says it all. I have a '03 Honda Sporttrax 400EX with a new aftermarket carb on it that seems to be having issues. I can start it but it idles really rough and when I give it throttle it just kills the engine. I have tried adjusting the idle screw but to no avail. I am in the San Diego Ca area. 
      Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I would also like to get an owners manual for the thing too but can't seem to find a downloadable one.

      I recently bought a 87 TRX 250 not running of course, the owner had a brand new Key Switch on it.
      I think it is the wrong one or wrong wire colors as the colors dont match up with wiring diagram i downloaded for it. 
      anyone have a pic of their ign switch wires where they connect with the wire colors for that model? I ended up leaving the black/w stripe and
      green wire disconnected in order to hot wire it for other testing but would like to know as the colors dont match diagram.

      I finally got around to working on the TRX, this has been an ongoing problem with this machine. This is a machine that we keep on my Fathers property, i dont see it that often, my brother haad it professionally repaired last year and year before same problem, the new starter gears and bypass gears last about a year and the machine is not used that often, he said he was done with it , so i thought i should go take a look. Sure enough the gears were all malled again. 
       

       

      IMG_4910.mov   There is some slack in there but most is taken up by the gear cover,if anyone with history with these machines has had the same problem, let me know your findings. Where i am now im looking for finding replacement honda gears on Ebay and try those. I suspect the original was replaced with aftermarket gears years ago and they just worse quality as the years go by.
