If you can take the lever out of the UTV, just take it to anyone that welds and have 3/4" added to the cable end of the lever.  I did that and I can attest to the "fix", I plowed snow for 2 hours Sunday and had zero shift issues.  The past snow storm I had kick outs all the time and had to be very sure of the shift to keep it in gear.  This "for me" fixed my issues just by adding 3/4" in length to the lever arm.

 

Here's the link in the forum to my modifications.

SHIFT LEVER MODIFICATIONS

Well that's the plan now. I emailed coleman becuase it's been 2.5 weeks with no update. They said the shift arm is on backorder and there is no date of when they will get them. I don't think they would have ever told me this and I would have just been waiting and waiting. I canceled today and will try this myself.

Great Info above. Thank you. Our current Coleman UT400 is having issues with engaging when trying to go into Reverse.

I am looking to purchase the updated shift lever with the additional 3/4 inch extension.  The shift operating system parts manual I found is linked below.  Is #3 the updated shift lever or the factory stock/old one that has issues with not enough travel? It looks like the part number has one less Zero than in the one posted above.

Thank you for the help!

I just ordered number 3. $120 with shipping, what a joke. Once it get it I will let everyone know if it works and is the updated shifter

Mine is new and it squeaks like crazy! Any idea what it could be? I can send a video if it helps. Thanks!

Go around an tighten all the cage bolts, seat bolts, everything. The guys at TSC who put it together never do a good job and it's usually loose. The squeek while driving is the central break for the rear. It will get better as it wears in

You have quite literally saved all of us with this problem. I received my 400 as a gift 1.5 years ago from my wife. I love this little thing but the shifter never quite worked. Coleman had me take it to a shop to adjust it but they did nothing. I adjusted it myself and got it better but I still have to rev between gears to make sure it's out then slam it and hope forward will engage and stay in. I gave up on coleman becuase their customer service is worthless. It always felt like I was just never quite locked into gear. I am facing this tonight and installing it. Any long term issue with the shifter from using it with this issue?

Can you provide exact specs? 

I just plowed out of a 24 inch snow here in NE Ohio. I have a double wide 500 foot long driveway and my coleman ate the snow. I was able to clear it in about 20 minutes with snow mounds up to 10 feet. This little machine was a beast out there. Moreover it used my own homemade plow! I'm going to enclose it and add the aftermarket heater assembly. Then I can be nice and toasty plowing our neighbors driveways.
