Is there a problem with the transmission on a Commander?
Yes your problem is all to familiar to all commander owners. Some deal with it and get use to it some change clutches all together. No problem with the noise you are describing. If you don’t understand it, get rid of it. I have a 2019 Commander XT 1000 2 seater with sliders, light guards, front rack.
What to do if your transmission is not shifting?
If the fluid is good and the transmission has been serviced before, then the clutches inside the transmission are slipping and it will need either rebuilt or replaced. If you need further assistance with your gears slipping on acceleration, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
Where is the transmission Adjustment on can Am Commander?
Then you are good on the adjustment. Basically move the shifter to HIGH and without putting it in the slot it should match the location if it was all the way in the slot. If it does not line up for HIGH or NEUTRAL then the adjustment is behind the passanger knee but under the cover.
Why do I have a problem shifting gears?
Try turning the engine off and shifting gears, if it shifts like butter then most likely it was the belt grabbing it causing the problem. If you still have that problem with the engine off, it will most likely be the linkage that needs to be adjusted. Are you running the stock clutch and belt?

What to do if your transmission is hard to shift?
Check to make sure your belt is not spinning at idle. If it does, even a little, or the clutch sheaves are even grabbing it, it will make for hard shifts because it’s putting tension on the transmission. Try turning the engine off and shifting gears, if it shifts like butter then most likely it was the belt grabbing it causing the problem.
