What’s the adjustment procedure for a Honda rancher 350?
The adjustment procedure is a bit subjective – back out out the bolt until you feel resistance and then go back in a quarter turn. At first I stopped at the first slight resistance I felt and then went back in a quarter. Today I kept backing it out until I felt significant resistance, then went back in a quarter. Night and day difference.
Why is my Honda rancher 350 hard shifting?
I worry if it is too loose it will slip too much and burn up the clutch. Another possible clue – it wants to take off when idling in gear while it is cold/cool. Have to hold a brake to keep it in place. This goes away when warm, it will sit in gear at idle without moving. Maybe this indicates I have the clutch adjustment too tight?
Can a Honda rancher 350 go from neutral to first gear?
First was the idle, it was high as you suggested. Was around 1650, now is around 1400 which is the spec. Now will not creep at all in gear, can go from neutral to first or reverse without the brake on and it does not lurch or creep.
Can you turn off the key while in 3rd gear?
Of course, turning off the key while your in 3rd or 4th gear requires you to then rock the quad while pressing the downshift button to get it back down to neutral so you can start it again. Another point, often when it would stop shifting and your cruising around in 3rd still the speedometer would read 0mph.

What causes a car to jump out of gear when downshifting?
If you can hear the gears clashing only when downshifting, the problem may come from the synchronizer (too much play at the output shaft end). However, a grinding noise may also come from a dragging clutch. Shift linkage problems can cause your transmission to jump out of gear.
