The thing is phenomenal!
That being said, there is definetly a problem with the reverse. After starting it up the first thing I did was try to shift it into reverse. It tried, eventually threw ECU 25 (which is failed shift) and gave up. We rotated the track, tried again, and it was in reverse. However, after shifting it back into forward and giving it some gas it made a nice grinding noise. To get it to shift sucsessfully we had to rotate the track again. We threw it up on a stand and ran it forwards and backwards without problems though.
So, until they come out with the fix, after shifting from reverse to forward, lift the back of the sled up and drop it. If I do that it shifts correctly everytime. I'm just hoping that the three times it made the grinding noise didn't do damage.
Also, I attempted to get the hood off. Unfortunately to get the hood off you need to remove 2 screws under the nose. To get to those screws you need to put the screw driver through holes in the bottom plate of the sport bumper. The holes are too small for a socket and bit to go through, so you need a dedicated torx screwdriver to get them out, which I didn't have tonight.
I attempted to remove the bumper to get at those two screws so that I could get the hood off, but I discovered that an intake hose prevents removal of the bumper. To remove the intake hose you need to remove the hood. In otherwords, you really need a torx screwdriver without changeable bits to get the hood off.
Unfortunately, when I removed the left side top torx screw that holds on the sport bumper I found that the screw was crossed and stripped. Anyone know if I can blame that on the factory or the dealer?
Besides those minor issues I can't stop drooling over the thing!
