Hard to shift 2020 Tracker 800sx


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

My 2020 800SX LE has only 70 miles on it (purchased new June 2020) also shifts hard most times and seems to “pop” into H or R when first starting out from Park (as the engine RPMs rev up).

The Dealer and their Service Manager both told me this is a common complaint from Customers but does Not necessarily indicate a problem .   According to their Service Dept. - it takes the  engine must rpms to “rev up” slightly before it will shift into gear, I usually just use a very light foot on the gas pedal and bring the rpms up slowly to minimize the jerking into gear.....it then always runs smooth while driving at any speed.  Since I only have 70 miles on it - too soon to tell if this will become a problem, it is annoying but otherwise everything else has been great and especially the ride:  smooth, quiet, on road or off.  Acceleration seems a bit slow for an 812cc 50hp engine but didn’t buy it to race.  Interested in what others think?

My problem is different and is being serviced at Cabelas as we speak. When I put my 800 into low and go for a drive and then stop, it won't come out of the low position, except with brute force or by shutting off the engine. What you describe is a little annoying, but I can live with it. I would suggest that everyone buy at least some of the extended warranty offered (I bought 48 months extended), it will probably pay for itself. Cabelas has had my 800 for over a week now, I'll keep you posted on the clutch repair.

My Tracker 800SX out of the Cabelas' Tracker Off Road shop on Setember 27, about 10 days start to finish.  If I did not have an extended warranty, the new clutch would be $720.00,  labor to install the new clutch would be $220.00 and the 8% Ohio sales tax would be $75.20, total of $1015.20  My bill of course was 0.00.  I would suggest again that you consider an extended warranty offered by Bass Pro/Cabelas if you are purchasing one of their off road machines.

Any “extended” warranty purchase is always a gamble (the $$$ up front vs likelihood it’s ever needed) but yours certainly paid for itself...even if you never use it again, you broke even.  The manufacturer warranty s 18 months - would that have covered your repair?

in the long run the $$ spent on extended warrenty’s Is a profit maker for the Warranty seller and I struggle with buying one or not.  $900 up front for a 4 yr warranty - beyond the 18 months that comes with it.  Because these UTVs are relatively new might be a reason for me to consider it.?  Undecided

My 18 month warrany expired in June 2021.  I would highly recommend an extended warranty just because it is a new machine, from the ground up, only since 2019, I believe.  I NEVER buy warranty extensions on "been around for ever" products,  such as cars, appliances, TVs and so on ...  Tracker off road won't disclose very much about break downs, but they did tell me they have had clutch issues.  And the clutch they put in my 800 this time has had no new refinements/up grades from the original,  so it could break again.  I have 265 miles and 72 hours on my 800.

Yep, agree and after careful thought decided to purchase the 48 month Extended Warranty/$1099...   Called Dealer, left message, then emailed, No returned call.  Called again and finally reached Sales person  who then told me “Your 4 days past the 90 days allowed to buy the extended warranty”.  When I told him I left messages weeks ago - no response? Also reminded him that I was told I’d get emails offering the warranty before the 90 day window expires - but Never did, he had no response.  The  Dealer said they Never are allowed exceptions but I could call Bass Pro Customer Service if I wanted to.  I did, went to a Cabelas in Northern VA in person and they are currently “looking into”.  Since I purchased my 800sx from an authorized Tracker Off Road Dealer (in Southern VA) and Not a Bass Pro or  Cabelas - figured I have a better chance dealing directly with Bass Pro vs franchise dealer"we’ll see how it goes but NOT happy so far.   I’m Not optimistic that Bass Pro will correct this matter but maybe it’s for the best....and will save me the $1100 for an extended warranty that I should never need.  Surprised they are not more aggressive pushing these warranties because they are Big $$$ makers for the Dealer & Warranty provider.

I have a 2020 Tracker 800sx with about 60 hours on it. It has been shifting very hard the past few months.  When I shut the engine off it shifts just like it should, but with the engine running, it takes quite a bit of force to take it out of low back to neutraL.

Does anyone know the cure?

Thank you in advance.

I thinks is bullshit that we have to buy a extended warranty due to a on going issue with the junk we bought... I only have 47 miles on my and had to replace the shift cable due to it broke while trying to shift into park... very disappointing for the the money... I am currently in the process of purchasing a REAL utv can am... get out while you can the thing is a canser.

      starts up you have keep rpms up for 5 minutes till it warms up then runs fine. But if it stalls wont start unless you unplug fuel pump and hold it to the floor till it starts then plug pump back in and run it till it warms up then it is fine all day.

      Have a Hisun 750 only 700hrs 21 model. Never had issues went to start it and there's a clicking sound under the seat I'm assuming it's the started relay. I for the life of me cannot find the starter, is there a way to test the relay. 
      Thank for any support

      hello everyone, i just joined this forum to try my luck, few days ago i bought an old (dont know exactly), 2011/14 hi sun 500cc ""carburated"",  was not running at the time, but i fell was a good deal and decided it to bring it home to play with it, this is the issue, i bought and installed a new carb, and pump, i repositioned the battery location and upgraded to a "car batt", reconnected the fuel lines and started it, but it only runs with the choke ON, i checked the bowl, it does have fuel,but for some reason wont inject it to run, i came across a video that say that ""the body small tank had to be connected for the cart to run" (was deleted when bought), sure enough i got it to run sporadically , but the so called ""small body tank'' often runs out of fuel and wont refill itself , i had to couple times do it manually, so how does that small tank works ?..what does it do?..and why if  bypass it , the cart wont start?....any help?..thanks so much!!!

      We see a lot of the UT400 with shift problems, not going into gear, popping out of gear, grinding etc. There  is a bulletin Im sure everyone has saw about adjusting shift cable.  That dont always fix it.  I went round n round with coleman  on couple units. We are a Coleman warranty repair center"AFS Small Engine Repair "   I told them shift lever does not have enough travel .  No amount of cable adjustment  will increase travel . I  extended lever with piece on flat  iron by 3/4 of inch .  This gave shifter enough travel to properly engage into gear completely .  Last couple units to come in for this Coleman sent me a modified shift lever, with longer travel . Problem solved! Also , heads up if you get any new unit ,,,go over and check it out,  grease  all zerks, check air filter for being in backwards, check wiring harnesses for rubbing on rotating parts,  brake hose  routing , make sure not touching exhaust .  These are just  few of the more common failures I see .
