CFMOTO Transmission Problems

[@russellzimara340]

Keep up the great work buddy. My favorite videos of yours are the ones like this with the close up and detailed teardown and rebuild. Absolutely essential for someone like me who is only moderately mechanically inclined. Would love to see more. Everybody on the planet has videos of off the self bolt on mods but your mechanic skill is a true gift to the CFMOTO community.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Thank you 🙏

[@Dragorus360]

I am sure he never put it into park while moving...Nooooooo never lol Great video and tutorial. Keep up the awesome work on CFMoto stuff

[@R.N.GPerformance]

lol 😂 right. Thank you 🙏

Great video I'm glad we have a go-to guy like you if we have any problems I was a motorcycle mechanic in the 1970s and 80s but now I just want to ride it not work on it but you make it easier if I have to

Thank you 🙏

This happened to my 2022 Uforce 1000 with 35km on it, yes 35. Placed in park on my slight grade driveway, noticed it rolling backwards. It is absolutely a weak part on the machine and you will see more of these failures. I will no longer shift into park. Only parking brake will be used. Oh, add a clutch kit as it completely changes the machine and smooths out engagement (a must do in my opinion). Now I am a happy cfmoto owner.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Yes sir. We usually use just the ebrake.

[@clintpapineau3267]

@@R.N.GPerformance I have subscribed. I have a question. Do you know of any aftermarket or future plans for CFMoto to create a replacement shift lever knob that houses a 4 way switch for a plow system. I have the KFI plow system with hydraulic actuator. It would be great to have a shift knob (like Polaris) that controls the winch and actuator.

[@bradkizer9961]

How many hours or mileage before the pawl failure? Good tip on “leave it neutral while on the trailer.” Never thought about it your root cause analysis

[@minorityfireteam3502]

Picked up a uforce 1000 yesterday. Put less than 30 miles on the machine trail riding and threw it in park on a very shallow hill, couldn't get it out of park. Finally had a couple buddies lift up the back end and it shifted just fine, drove down to flat ground and realized that it would no longer go into park or low gear. Thought I did enough brand research but really kicking myself for getting it now.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

In the owners manual it states park is for glad ground only. Use neutral and ebrake. And never haul it in park.

[@minorityfireteam3502]

@@R.N.GPerformance is there a section of the manual that expressly states flat ground only? I read the portion stating to properly park on the flattest section of terrain available but did not see what you're referencing.

Mine broke when I was pulling out stump using the wench. I was in park and I was standing out side the machine wrenching away. I did get CGMOTO to cover it.

[@primetime1267]

Robert did Cfmoto give you any issues getting it covered ? I just did the exact same thing last week and Cfmoto is starting to give my dealership some static and wanting them to tear into deeper to see what caused it. I was truthful and told them I was winching while in park, and the manual actually stated to place in park and Ebrake while winching. I hope they cover it.

[@RobertGrant1971]

@@primetime1267 that was back in the June of 2021. They tore the engine apart and replaced the broken part. It was coved. If the book says to leave it in parking when using. You need to show them and push that it needs to be covered.

Hey man, nice job on your videos. I have a 2023 CForce 1000...just went over 1000km and it's started leaking transmission fluid...I know it's still warranty, but is there something I should know? I followed all recommendations since e new from the dealer, the manual and some of your videos. What gives? Please respond, much respect keep pumping out these videos ya pimp. 😉

[@adiwm5084]

Great tip with that small hole

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Thank you

[@josipmarijanovic6453]

Where is that small hole located on the cforce 600? After wash, my machine cranck but will not start. After second try, it will star working but with misfire. Maybe this hole is clogged because this is happenig only after wash.

[@chave22bay]

What makes them hard to shift between gears.2022 zforce 800ex … 150 miles. Seems to shift fine when cold.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Could be the bearing in the clutch. We sell and upgrade clutch bearing for them. rngperformance.net/shop-parts-accessories/ols/products/cfmoto-clutch-bearing-rebuild-kit

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Me too lol.

[@billmeyers2134]

RNG you should develop a upgraded parking pawl

[@R.N.GPerformance]

I had been working on it. We’re trying to figure out how thick we can make it because as thin as it is. If we make it stronger and not thicker it will just tear up the gear.

[@FishSnot]

the new z950's can am looking models that are out don't have an ebrake. is this going to be a recurring fail point?

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Yea

[@Dat_Sun]

I've been waiting for this video for about a year now ever since I broke my parking gear in my uforce1000 while. I was wondering if the paw was softer than the gears and apparently it is. I think I'll wait until next Winter to perform this particular repair but it doesn't look too bad.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Yeah it’s pretty easy for sure.

[@gungadingo]

Pawl, not paw.

[@jondawkins5177]

Make a quick vid showing how similar the can am heads are and the differences and why they dont work. No one has made a video of that yet A lot of us would be interested.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Good idea maybe someone would donate some heads.

[@magnum357225]

Thank you for the video, do you know who makes the engine, i bought a goes utx 700 and it looks a lot like that one. My worm gear for the diff got completely eaten and i need to replace it.

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

Time to find someone with a CNC plasma table and make one of those park pawls out of some American steel that will hold up.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

No doubt about that.

[@GodOfThunder6789]

My dealer explained to me to haul my machine in neutral for this reason. The rocking motion in park wears on those teach.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

That’s correct

[@daleprokop1268]

I’ve hauled mine in park every time 😬😬😬. But I also have the hand break on so it would be pretty hard to move it at all. Think I’m safe…? Lol. I haven’t had any problems with park. If anything when I’m parked on a hill I have trouble getting OUT of park.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

I personally don’t use park ever.

[@supertrucker3263]

Hey RNG. Been a fan since the beginning. Love all your videos. Question it’s looks like transmission and engine are together. My z950 locked up it’s under warranty and dealer said they ordered a long block. So I guess I’ll be getting a new engine and transmission?

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Thank you 🙏. Yes you will get new transmission also. Only thing that will be re used is your clutch, flywheel, intake and some sensors.

Hey RNG, What’s average cost to replace this parking pawl if Cfmoto won’t cover the damage ?

It would require a full engine tear down. Me personally I wouldn’t tear the engine down just because of that paw. I would forget about it. And use the e brake.

Nice work. I expected more gears in there. One question, what is that mesh held in with 3 screws in the bottom of the engine oil part of the block?

You talking about the oil screen? Just a couple screws on the bottom of the block.

[@mjuhanil]

What caused the engine and transmission to fail in this sxs? If not park then what gear should we haul them in?

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Neutral with E-Brake. The engine failed because he got water in it. The parking paw he said was defective day 1 the dealer was gona fix it but then he swamped it.

[@Dat_Sun]

I recommend using a 09+ gen f150 tailgate bump stop as a park lockout. It fits like it was from cfmoto.

[@shopyoga]

Thanks for the video, well done! I have a cf Moto 2016 z force 800 I think I need to go into transmission but not confirmed yet. Maybe you can confirm? All I can say about it is machine will roll forward but not backwards in neutral. Took it home on a trailer and was only able to get off trailer by starting the engine (runs good) and applying bit of throttle in reverse ~when doing so I could hear a bit of grindy/clacky noise and it would catch periodically trying to move backward. Beyond that I've just disconnected driveshafts so I could move it freely around the yard. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏

[@robertchrysler7015]

Time for someone to create an upgraded park paw

[@Dat_Sun]

I think it needs to remain a sacrificial part, if it's stronger, something else is going to break.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

It just rides on a gear. It could be a little stronger wouldn’t hurt at all.

[@Dat_Sun]

@@R.N.GPerformance I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you on that one.

[@armedfarm3429]

In China they usually make parts designed to fail to save a more expensive part. So, you made a bigger stronger pawl, now what gear is that new pawl going to take out when on a hill?

[@OpenAirAdventureFirewood]

Hauling in park did the damage and what about the bearings, same thing or was this transmission beat on?

I have a 2022 uf1000 with 50km sense new the unit is hard to get into gear and if parking break isn’t in this thing will roll and click, also when accelerating or letting off the throttle there is a clunking sound, probably the same issue, should I be concerned with metal in the oil causing other damage if it is the parking pawl?

[@R.N.GPerformance]

The clunk sound is normal it’s just play im the driveline.
