MSU 500 Won't shift into Low, but works great on Hi and Reverse

[Chris M]

I can shift into reverse and 'high' gear beautifully, but I can't get the UTV to go into low. I hired a mechanic to change the belt, and clean the clutches. When it came back 'low' gear no longer worked.

I tried to change I've tried replacing fan gears  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08V97JZL5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 that were worn down, and it shifts better but, didn't fix the low gear problem. I can't shift into low with the engine off either. It indicates that it's in low gear, but I hear what sounds like something spinning in the middle of the UTV. 

It seems like the mechanic didn't know what he was doing. Never even mentioned it to me that 'Low' didn't work, until I went to use the

Chris, thought I'd throw this out to will until more informed members help you out. There are some here that have more knowledge on these things than Myself. I own a 2016 MSU 800. In 7 yrs I have very few problems with mine. Mainly brake pads which I consider a wear item and wheels bearings a couple times. Mine has sealed wheel bearings as opposed to roller bearings that can be maintained, the only maintenance of sealed bearings is run them until they wear out and replace them!!

  On me machine if it gets to where it doesn't shift well it's usually the adjustment on the shifting linkage, which in my opinion is quite touchy, therefore it doesn't take much for it to get out of adjustment.

Massimo MSU500 won't shift to low

I would check the shift linkage. Adjust it make it a little longer, if it is not long enough it won't shift to low
