Yup Yup and YupIs it really worth upgrading OEM Shift Gate? Will it make a huge difference or is money spent better on other upgrades?
I think a straight shot from Low to Reverse might come in handy if you bite off more than you can chew on an uphill. A quick blip in reverse ‘might’ keep you from going over backwards. But if you don’t ride those extremes, then it‘s probably unnecessary.Is it really worth upgrading OEM Shift Gate? Will it make a huge difference or is money spent better on other upgrades?
It depends on what year buggy you have.Is it really worth upgrading OEM Shift Gate? Will it make a huge difference or is money spent better on other upgrades?
This ^^^^^It depends on what year buggy you have.
There are threads talking about what internal parts you want for the subtrans - if you already have thouse parts dont bother.
If you don't have thouse parts skip the snake oil and get them.

All in what you need done. I've got 35000 miles total on two talons with factory gates, no problems so far. Yes, i pay attention to the adjustment and ease into the throttle after every gear change, no races to win here. Have had some bang engagements, nature of the beast with dog gears.

I have a 2021 1000x-4. How do I know if has been updated?This ^^^^^
Mine has the updated parts and the difference between it and an older model are immediately noticeable. Much easier and smoother engagement. I’d say if you don’t have a later model ‘21 with the updated shift star and shaft, then a shift gate is probably a good investment.

You don't unless you take it apart. Hell my machine might not have them, but it is noticeably smoother and easier to engage than any of my friends that have Talons with earlier build dates. Mine was built 9/21.I have a 2021 1000x-4. How do I know if has been updated?
Very nice jobI made my own, I like the high and reverse on the drivers side. This is because the shift handle spring pushes it towards the drivers side and that's what is used most of the time.
You do have to be careful, because it's so easy to go from drive to reverse the sub trans can complain once in a while when you don't come to a complete stop.
