The Rincon's transmission is totally different, and it has proven one of the most reliable drivetrains out there. It has a torque converter type auto like in a car.

The Recon, however, is a geared 5 speed transmission with auto clutch, and the ES is just an electric shifting for the manual transmission. Similar setups were on Foremans and Ranchers.

They do (especially the older ones) sometimes have issues with the angle sensor, shift motor, or computer.

Unless you really don't like a foot shifter, I would avoid the ES on a used Recon. JMHO.
