While snowplowing my son noticed only the back wheels were spinning when I was in reverse. so I was getting stuck I shift to forward all 4 wheels kick in pull forward a few feet then hit reverse to get out
Push the yellow button on the hand area. On some models, it engages 4 wheel drive

ok i have a 335 that had a similiar problem 4 wheel drive would not engage and speedometer acted like it was a tach when started in an idol..... i replaced the battery and believe the condition was caused by low voltage if your battery is is not very good your machine wont generate enough voltage for your 4 wheel drive to engage....try it maybe this will help...
SOURCE: Polaris 340 pool cleaner, will not reverse
A big problem with this cleaner is that the screws come loose with vibration. You'll have to disassemble the cleaner to get to the power module, once you have to power module out, remove the endcap and check the screws on the cams that engage the reverse drive mechanisms. The main problem is when the screws come loose, they won't fully engage the reverse drives and will sometimes cause the cleaner to stop while it should be reversing, then continue on forward mode. I guess the best advice I have is to make sure all the screws are tight, but not over-tight as you can pull the threaded inserts out of the plastic.

Solution#1 worked perfectly. It only took about 15 minutes all together.
the side panel removes easily. It just slides out of the other panel. Once you have removed the handle (Shifter) and the other two bracket bolts, just place it back into the shifter housing and move it around. I was amazed at how easy this was to repair. I also turned the ignition to the on position to see if it was changing gears and it was.

I tried this today and it worked. Pull the sideplate from the ATV so
that you have access to the gear shifter assembly. Unbolt the gearshift
assembly from the mounting bracket. There are two bolts at the rear
near the two rods that exit the assembly and three on the bottom. When
the bolts are out, remove the assembly from the mounting bracket. Hold
it in your hand and move the shift lever through all of the positions.
This won't actually shift the transmission, but it should free up the
rods in the assembly. Remount the assembly with the five bolts and it
should now be able to shift out of reverse.
