Swayed by the Trax Posts: 4 Group: Member Member #106 Joined: July 29, 2006	hello Right two questions about my recently aquired blizzard. 1st, one do they run quicker in reverse mine seem's to. 2nd, ive had the gearbox out trying to find a slipper clutch but cannot find one . basically its getting power to the gearbox but its clicking and not driving the tracks. ok in reverse , just forward. ive checked the arm that moves the center sprocket into forward/reverse gear cogs and it is moving fully forward and back so im lost for ideas. any info much appreciated Andy the Newbie.

Maybe that's why I like mine-I have a '77 Triumph motorcycle that's the same way: On average, you get 56.33 miles and something breaks, needs adjusting, or just plain bailed off a few miles back: BUT, when it's running, there's nothing cooler!
