Hard to change gear Snarler AT6 L Deluxe

This isn’t an issue with the Snarler, it’s common to all auto gearboxes on 4x4 quads. The solution is to knock it into Neutral to free the gearing and let it roll, and/or straighten the wheels to take strain off the diffs. Understanding the mechanics of the drivetrain will explain your issues.

I can hold mine in Park with 500kg of logs in a trailer on a slope, and move it into Low (Drive), provided that the wheels are straight, and drive away. The Snarler is an awesome workhorse.
I disagree, Since the gear arrangement is park-reverse-neutral-high-low and the gear gets stuck in low so it does not go into neutral what you suggest as a solution does not work. without moving the machine I can go from park to low and the lever will not disengage easily
 
Update on Segway Primary Clutch issues. According to the dealer where I bought my 570 Snarler. They have replaced 3 Primary Clutches due to failure and have an additional 4 on back order (mine included) to be replaced. Service adviser stated the Segway is aware of and acknowledge that there is a product defect. As such all new 2022 , 2023 models will be built using a different style CVT clutch I believe. So for anyone experiencing shifting issues I would advise that you have it looked at and replaced if it's found to be such. Hope this hel
Thank you for the update
 
I’m having problem with changing from D to R or at all while the transmission is under resistance, for instance standing still in a hill, or on uneven ground.
I have to use force to change gear, or try to get the driveline free from load before changing gear.
It almost feels like i’m bending the gearstick.
When the driveline is without resistance it works properly.
The quad has to roll freely the last meter or so without any throttle to even make it possible to switch gear.
Does anyone else experienced the same?
I have a similar problem getting out of low, the lack of workshop manual does not make adjustment easy and I am hoping it is some4thign that they can fix when it goes for service as hopefully it is a warranty issue.
