Excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject, never been big into 4 wheelers. Acquired one many years ago through a friend/coworker of my wife. Honda 350 rancher 2000 2WD. Now to the question, y'all are saying manual shift . Are y'all referring to the push button on the handle bars as manual or we going old school and done by a foot pedal. If so are the newer ones auto shift as in your auto/truck and that's the ones y'all saying to stay away from? By the way 20 years old and have had zero problems, batteries and oil change only.
