Hisun 800 UTV grinding going into gear.

[Michael Busby]

Hey guys. I have a 2010 Hisun 800 UTV I’m rebuilding. When shifting from neutral to any of the gears, it grinds a little before actually going in gear. After that it runs and drives great. I bought some parts from  Motorcycle Doctor on eBay including a new CVT belt. I called them today and he said it may be the clutch. The belt isn’t moving at all while it’s idling. Has anyone else had this issue? A new cvt clutch is $500. I just want to be sure that’s the problem before I order it.

Could be grinding in the trans, might just try changing the fluid and see.

Excessively high idle speed can make shifting into gear difficult.
