HOW TO ADJUST SHIFTER LINKAGE ON CANAM OUTLANDER / RENEGADE - NO MORE CANAM ROCK!!

Adjusted my wife's Canam Outlander 850 shifter linkage. I was getting sick and tired of her having to do the Canam Rock on her Canam Outlander 850 to get it in gear, so lets fix this. Its not a complicated fix, you just need to play with it until you get the shifting nice and smooth. I'm sure my wife will be super happy that her shifter linkage on her Canam Outlander 850 is fixed. This fix will work on any Canam Outlander or Renegade.

As soon as I read Can Am rock I knew exactly what you meant hahaha

[ProjectVengeance]

couple extra points:
can am shifter adjuster top nut is reverse threaded so clockwise turning loosens the nut...
make sure the little heim joint on the transmission is straight after you tighten the adjustment nuts... this can cause binding during shifting and make it feel very tight to get into park or low range.
if it is easy to shift when the machine is not running but harder to shift when it is running (maybe even hear a grind while running) - you may have a primary clutch engagement issue.

happy to help :)

You're a ROCKSTAR!!! So glad you and I have the same atv because your vids are on point. You are a good communicator...ie:not too much time (but enough) communicating the important things. THANK YOU!!

These adjustments are definitely helpful. Thanks for demonstrating. Another fix to achieve even smoother shifting is to replace the 2 bearings inside the one-way bearing with aftermarket bearings that are easier to spin than the OEM ones. I went with VXB bearings off of Amazon and lubed everything using the proper isoflex grease and the shifting is buttery smooth now. Definitely recommended.

Thank you! Love my Outlanders, 2016 and 2021, but my 2016 shifts poorly like you demonstrated. So far my 2021 is much better. I will be making the adjustments as you demonstrated. Appreciate you sharing this.

Thanks! Just picked up a 2014 Outlander max and this was desperately needed. Gonna check out your maintenance playlist to see if I can figure out these breaks. They're super tight. Takes a lot of throttle to overcome them and get going and letting off the throttle once I'm up to speed will launch me over the handlebars. I'm thinking sticky calipers, we'll see.

Having similar problems on a 2017 Outlander, so will definitely be trying this. Thanks!

Mines brand new. 3 days old actually with 9klms on it. Thought I was doing something wrong and felt I was going to bust it. Shifts like poo!
WTH, it’s so stupid that Can Am would have the sense to make the Adjustment as part of the PDI, or have it customer ready?
We certainly pay enough. Needless to say.. I can fix it easily, now that I see what to do. Although I shouldn’t have to. Thanks again for your help, gotta love UTube and people that help others !

What up neighbor (blue ram truck). Came across your channel the other day looking at xmrs. I subbed and sent some other people over. Imma have to stop by and get some pointers man good work

[ericbalow]

The Can Am rock causes those who aren't "in the know" to look at you got this same ritual every time or he's a little bit on the freaky I knew I wasn't the only one... thanks for the tip! Now I'll probably rock it out of habit even though it works as it should.

Also make sure your one way bearing is thoroughly greased with isoflex before you adjust your linkages.

Thanks for the video! I just bought a new machine that had the same shifting issue. I put tracks on it and let's just say it's a lot more difficult to do the Cam-Am shake with tracks. I'm glad to see there's a potential fix.👍👍

[mastercedar]

Thanks for the info man. Was looking for a fix to this mess. Brap brap

[goldenbayhoney]

Would this be why I am having starting issues. After my 2014 650 Outlander is running i move the shifter back and forth and put t in either park or neutral, it will not turn over. Any ideas or suggestions….thanks!!!!

[JPaupst]

I have a 2007 Outlander 400HO I duno maybe am XT or somethin(First Canam Quad). I did this adjustment because of the annoying rock. Have t took it out yet to see if it holds but just sitting in the garage it cured most of the issue. I will say though, I found this video after figuring I would try to adjust the shifter linkage. I did shift it to Neutral first though, then started doing the adjustments. I ended up where there is some room to play with adjustment left when I park but when shifted all the way forward ( I forget is that High(?) ) the adjustment can't be pulled back any farther. I could adjust it a little furth ahead but I think I am at the sweet spot for now. It seemed to shift anyway. We'll see after I get to plowing with it in a few months

[getdowninthesouth]

Great video bro!! Definitely need to make those adjustments on my outlander.🤙🏻

[peterweber]

Great explaination, thx a lot for this video. Just an other question. My shift linkage has contact to the plastic cover, when gearing up in H and L. Do you have a solution for me here ? Thx in advance for your help and best regards from germany.

[Letsroll]

Thanks for the tip, just picked up a 2021 1000 that needs this 3 days old. I’m surprised they are not tuned appropriately from the factory. But then again it doesn’t really surprise me... it shifts OK and is usable but is a little tight at times and I’ve noticed if you turn it off without putting it in park, it won’t move to park after its shut off. have you noticed this?

[Atatsiak]

You’re a good man; god bless. Another issue I’ve become a victim to.

[robertbernstein]

Thanks for your video, there aren't a lot out there on this topic! The problem I'm having is that say the bike is in neutral. To get into reverse I have to go all the way down into park (so I can't even get to park). To get into high, I have to go all the way into low. It just seems like there is too much play in neutral before engaging the next gear up or down. Do you think this adjustment will help my issue or any suggestions on what could?
