AMEN!

You need to download a service manual for your model UTV, since you have access to the internet. There is a page on this forum where you can get one downloaded and IT IS FREEEE! , as Joe Natmath says on TV. You may need to use a computer or maybe even a smart cell phone, I used my desktop computer.

I would think that the part that blew up would be all that is bad, looks like it showed you where the problem is

this is just the nature of the beast "gears grinding when shifting " make sure it is idleing BELOW 2000 RPM' OR STOP , kill the engine , shift Gear, put your foot on brake and start the engine"

Sorry , Scott but you seem to be searching for answers rather than being helpful for us that don't have Mule SUVs, I did have a 3010 water cooled Mule, and likemost asian SUvs it was an electronic nightmare.

I also had a 3010 Mule and sound wasn't a problem, this problem was concerning a Massimo Buck 400.

Get some heat but mostly noise.

I want the sound of the engine to be dulled in the cabin and the heat from the engine reduced in the cabin in summer.

What type and brands of insulation do you use in the cabin, floor and engine compartment of your Massimo and related 4 by 4 UtVs specially Massimo Buck 400s?

I do have a couple of suggestions, first always allow the engine to idle below 2000RPM, if it won't do that adjust the idle down to around 1800 RPMS, If that still don't work keep your foot on the brake peddle and kill the engine, then with your foot still on the brake shift into the gear you need and hit the starter, my 400 Buck will then start.

I have a Massimo 2019 Buck 400 and the wet clutch uses the engine oil . The transmission and final drive both use gear oil

I worked in Lafayette, New Iberia and Houma for Big Red my Job as Auditor for Hazardous materials from 1982 to when I retired in 1997 and didn't let them gators bother me either Did a lot of fishing. several times I had to swing around some of the big ones when they decided to warm themselves on the road or just slowly walk across the road.

My Buck 400 holds 1.4 Qts. and I figure it was prudent to use the other half Qt to mix with the small residual anount the vacuum would not pick up. since I buy 2 Qts for an oil change, I didn't want to contaminate the sump with other oil than what should be put into the engine, , I figure on the third oil change I wil go under and pull the drain plug and clean the screen.

This is what you have. To do an oil change without trying to pull the drain plug and it's attached oil screen, pull the dipstick and use a short handle 7/8" open end wrench to unscrew the dipstick bushing from the aluminum engine sump casting, yes the shifting cable is in the way, be careful not to break the shifting cable housing. I used an oil change suction pump (12 volt) to suck out the used oil, added a half Qt of new oil to mix with the residual old oil in the sump and then use the suction pump to suck out the half Qt of new oil and the residual old oi,. Since you will only need a Quart and half to fill the sump. You will need the remaining qt. and 1/2 of oil. I used an old automatic transmission oil funnel to fill the sump with new oil. Screw the dipstick bushing back in the engine and check the oil level with the dipstick back and be ready to go.

Is this with the old solenoid? I
