I have a 2021 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 with 8k miles and 842 hours and its having shifting issues. It starts off slow in 1st, shifts fine into 2nd and 4th, but revs and hesitates before shifting into 3rd and 5th. The problem happens in both high and low range , and in auto or manual mode. Any idea what might be causing this?
 
Have you checked if the clutch has been recalibrated recently or if there are any stored error codes in the ECU? That hesitation into 3rd and 5th could point to a clutch or sensor issue

Good point, i haven't had the clutch recalibrated yet, and i'm not sure if there are any codes stored. Did you notice those symptoms clear up after recalibration , or was it more of a sensor replacement in your case?
