I just got a deal of a lifetime on an 09 RTX with 52 miles. I am psyched! This is my second Phazer. My question is when I put her into reverse, sometimes it will not drop in and I have to shake the sled side to side and it is drops in, just like my 07 Phazer. What is new about this 09 is that once I change from reverse to forward, the green light just blinks and it seems like it is stuck in neutral. I have to shut the sled off and then all is well and away I go. Do you know if there is a dealer fix for this? Anyone else have this issue?

My 09' does it too. I wind up rocking the sled to get it to go into reverse and then again to go forward sometimes. Kind of a pain. G.B.

It does the same thing on the '11. Rock, then roll!

i just give it a quick rock forward and it goes every time - 09 is way better than the 07 was. i still have the old belt on it as well.

Thanks for the replies. I tried lifting up the back and that worked great.
