massimo buck 400 grinding noise in high gear, pops out of high gear

Hey yall,

Helping a friend out. he purchased a 2020 massimo buck 400 utv. has about 100 hours on it. after starting the engine, shifter in low, it does fine. when shifted to high gear, most of the time it acts like its not in gear completely, and it pops out and grinds bad. when you can get it in high gear, it acts like something is binding and it wont hardley roll before it jumps out of gear and makes that grinding noise. almost like trying to dr4ive a standard transmission car and start off in 3rd or 4th gear.

I have been on this site for several hours now, and totally understand the overall feeling about massimo utv. I can only imagine trying to find transmission parts when other members cant even find a fuel filter, lol.

A new transmission is (part#47516) $1159.99 plus tax and freight.

anyone have any other ideas or suggestions on what is causing the noise in high gear and not wanting to move?

Thanks ,

Chris

Sounds like there is an adjustment somewhere to be made. Either on the cables or linkage on the transmission maybe? May even be a bolt or something on the tranny you adjust in or out?

Have you gone online to download the manuals? I would download everything they had just for reference if anything. If there is an adjustment it should be in there somewhere. If not then maybe contact a garage that works on sxs's and hopefully they can point you in the right direction.

thanks for your response!

I downloadedwhat i assume is the manual that is posted here i believe, didnt seem like much help. its wierd, its like low and reverse run out fine, its just hard to feel the high gear engage, and when you try and take off in high, just about the time it starts to move, is when it pops out of gear. ill recheck it again, ive got the belt cover off and the rear end lifted to see if it will without a load on it.

Thanks!

 The only thing I figured out, "Dynamic System" means engine/transmission and "Final Drive" is axle/wheel hubs. Be aware the oil weight suggestion is in Cent and not Fahrenheit in that manual.

 I looked at the manual here also and can't quite figure it out either. It does say at chapter 3.12 (Pages 60/62)  in the "what if" section and refers to the "Vehicle section" for adjustments. Which I couldn't find. lol

Maybe trace the cable or wire down to the transmission and check out that area?

 I believe Tractor Supply is one of the dealers and maybe has a better copy or more manuals thru them? I would imagine they have a local shop to do their warranty work and you might see if you can find out who it is and give them a call?

 Good luck on your mission//////

Hey.

Thanksfor responding, and you know i didnt want to sound like an ass by commenting on that manual, but ill agree, its pretty useless, lol.

i took the belt cover off but need to check the idle and i had already questioned the owner about the oil, and that may play part also. im going to change the oil, and take the shift cables off, maybe pull that shifting mnechanism off and have a look. 

what sucks is that only SONME parts are available, and say if the main shaft is bad, and you cant get it, its replace the transmission.

Ill keep you posted and thank you again!

Chris

      2004 Joyner Dirt Devil Missing “Prick gear”
      By nrggaragebuilds
      2004 250DL DIRT DEVIL. Hey y’all, I already know this is a long shot. But I am looking for a the “prick gear” assembly that makes reverse work for my external reverse gearbox. OEM PN D250.08.103 and its assembly. I bought the kart as a basket case, but I saw that the reverse box was present so I was optimistic.  Upon starting working on the buggy I realized there was a block off plate in plate of there the normal gear would be. If my understanding is correct that means the transmission no longer has reverse gear. I figured it’s just a standard bevel gear and I could probably find a gear to make work, but I don’t want to spend the time making all the other housing parts to shim the gear perfectly. Has anyone spare parts, or figured out an aftermarket solution from McMaster? I already know it’ll be a challenge to get this box to be happy again, but figured I would ask

      Hisun Axis 500 Problems - Hesitation, struggles to go up incline, and low speed regardless of gear range
      By AlphaSerenity
      Hello,
      Before I invest $10k+ into a brand new UTV for the farm, I want to get my feet wet with a fixer upper and learn the mechanical side of things. I acquired a 2022 Hisun Axis 500 (Lowes-specific model) from an auction for $500. It has only 200 hours and 120 miles on the engine. It looks like the previous owner used it for ranch work and didn't drive it on trails, deep water/mud, or anything too crazy.
      While it runs and moves, it has some problems. It struggles to accelerate up any incline in high and low range and sometimes stalls when I let off of the throttle or change gears. When I apply throttle in neutral, it sounds like it is struggling for fuel/air and pops. When I decelerate, there is a grinding sound coming from the clutch, which I've read to be related to the one way bearing and is semi-common. The last thing I've observed is sometimes the speedometer display sometimes will show a much higher value for a few seconds after barely touching the throttle. Based on the documentation, if a problem is detected from the sensors, the instrument panel display should have an error code rendered on the screen in place of the time, but this isn't happening. Here is a video showing some of these issues (engine is exposed with console removed):

      Here is another video of the clutches in action:
       
      I've done some research, but information on this specific unit and sister units is limited. There does seem to be transmission and clutch issues reported. I still need to check into the head gaskets. I don't have the equipment to test compression right now, but I do plan on ordering what is needed soon. I do have an order in place for some cables to read the diagnostics from the computer. There is a shop two hours away from me that works on Hisun products, but I am hoping the problem can be identified and is something within my ability to handle. Below is what I've already investigated.  I am leaning towards the primary clutch needing replacement right now.
      After getting it home and unloaded, I did the following maintenance/checks to it prior to operating it further:
      Changed the engine/clutch oil (and filter) and gear oils using manufacture recommended viscosity Changed the air filter and checked for cracks in the air intake flow. Verified good suction. Cleaned the throttle body Changed the spark plug and verified the gap was within spec (0.6-0.7mm) Changed the coil and coil wire Changed the fuel lines, fuel injector, and verified the fuel pump was outputting the correct initial prime pressure for ignition and continuous pressure after ignition. Also completely emptied the fuel tank and made sure octane 91+ fuel is being used per manufacturer specs. Ran seafoam through system too. Cleaned the spark arrester and verified no cracks or gaps in the exhaust flow Changed out the O2 sensor Checked all wired connections to ensure they were secured and no breaks were visible Checked the belt for tightness and for any signs of wear and tear Verified 4WD and the differential lock function as expected - still hesitates and struggles uphill Verified the fan gears in the shifter are not corroded and working as expected ECU was reset after replacing sensors and fuel-related parts  
       
      Thanks!

      Best place to find info on Hisun or Massimo UTV's
      By Eman85
      I have been searching and can't find much info on these units. Pretty surprising as every other thing I own I find a lot of info on. Researching for tech info and such it's like no one owns any of these yet I see them everywhere.

      Utv wont start and broken fuel injection wire
      By Jeff freeman
      I have a Coleman 550.  Was having problems to start with where it would start and then shut off after a couple tries. It would take off and be good. It then got to a point where it would not start at all. I replaced the fuel injection twice the second time I replaced it I noticed a mouse or something had chewed one of the wires that connect the electrical to the fuel injector. . So two-part question first does anybody have a part number for that wire harness?  Second, any other ideas after I fix the wire harness permanently on what could keep it from starting I have gas flow up to the fuel injector.
