Possible gearbox issues. Need help

When I pulled my Outlander out of the garage today it didn't want to go into reverse. I got it to go, then it started making a grinding noise like the gears didn't fully engage. I started shifting gears and it isn't reading the right gear placement. When in Neutral it still moves, it won't go into park, and something seems wrong in general. Where do I start with this? I think it might be the gearbox.

Oil out of water pump weep hole

Back to beat this dead horse! Why rotax and can am is this seal made to leak? All the machines I've owned from can am have leaked here, even after replacement! Gotta be a design flaw! Who all on newer machines had this problem? I like these machines a lot but something as silly as this should be re thought out! Just my opinion, please chime in!

HELP! 2010 Sportsman 800 Rear Brake Issue.

Hi all. I have an issue with the rear brakes on my 2010 sportsman 800efi. The rear brakes work with the lever but not the foot pedal. I understand this is a joint system. I can't find a rebuild kit for the rear master cylinder even though one can be found for every other model of sportsman. A replacement unit is $25-$50 for most units however one for my machine is over $200. Does anybody have any information on this? Any help is appreciated.

2004.5 Sportsman 700 carb misfiring

Hi guys, to make a short story long, I have run into my first problem on my 700. It all started at the end of hunting when I went to move my 700 onto the trailer on a cold snowy morning. It started fine but when I hit the throttle it shut off. Thinking it was a frozen carb and the ETC cut in, we just pushed it into the trailer to get it home. Finally got to work on it this week and worked on solving the no start and replacing the throttle cable as it had broken at the throttle assembly. I tracked the no start down to a corroded connector going into the throttle assembly and the machine now started but idled at 3500 rpm. I took it apart again and re-routed the throttle cable. I just had it out. It starts fine, idles fine and can run around the yard no problem.... unless I give more than 1/4 throttle. After that it misfires badly and bogs down. Keeping it under 1/4 throttle i have no problem with RPM or speed.
I not very familiar with they type of carb on this machine but have worked on alot of Mikuni slide carbs. I'm thinking something is still frozen, jammed, clogged and the machine is starving for fuel after 1/4 throttle.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Couple new toys and snorkeled vent lines

Few new toys from original mods design. Risers, shifter & billet gas cap. All I can say is the workmanship and finish is amazing. Switched out from my rox riser to theirs as well because the stuff is solid and beautiful. Also while I had the plastics off noticed how low the vent lines are and figured they should be closer to the snorkel height. Got it pretty clean and routed neatly.

97 scrambler 400 4wd issue

I am going to start off saying that everything works. At the beginning of the season last year I replaced my front bearings and seals. About halfway through the season I started having an issue while 4wd was on and I was just driving normal. The front left tire staying engaged and pulls me hard to the left. So I have been running 2wd until I get to an obstacle that i feel needs 4wd get through it and then shut if off back to two wheel drive. The whole time treating it like that it never ones pulls to the left hard. Any idea what I should look at. It’s also the same side that I have a had to retighten the bearings a few times.
