How does a Honda Rincon transmission work?
In the Rincon, the engine output shaft drives the torque converter’s impeller, which uses fins to pump fluid-in this case, engine oil. As this fluid drives the vanes of the torque converter’s turbine, the spinning turbine then powers the automatic transmission to propel the vehicle.
What is high mileage on a Honda ATV?
Generally, an ATV is considered “high miles” once it reaches around 10,000 miles. What’s more important, however, is how it was maintained and how the previous owner rode it. Even at 10,000 miles, if the previous owner took the time and effort to care for the ATV, there could still be a lot of life left in the vehicle.
Why is my Honda Rincon transmission not shifting?
While the valves can be controlled electrically, they must also be mechanically adjusted. Thus, the electrical function of the valve could be perfect. But, if the mechanical adjustment is off, then your shifting will be goofed up. Oil, and oil levels can also affect shifting, since the valves require a supply of oil to work correctly.
Why does a Honda Rincon not feel as fast in automatic mode?
That depends on how you use the transmission. In automatic mode the Honda doesn’t feel as fast as it is because the transmission is usually in a taller gear than you’d pick for sporty performance. It downshifts to deliver the torque you need to conquer hills and other challenging terrain, but it’s not as responsive as it could be.
How does the Rincon transmission work on an ATV?
The Rincon transmission uses valves to do the shifting. While the valves can be controlled electrically, they must also be mechanically adjusted. Thus, the electrical function of the valve could be perfect. But, if the mechanical adjustment is off, then your shifting will be goofed up.
