The reverse handle snapped off while my wife was trying to get her 05 Rage into reverse.
This happen to anyone else?
Its made out of plastic coated plastic.
It has always been difficult to switch this sled into reverse and back. Is this caused by improper chain tension?
 
My new Vector is also difficult to switch into reverse. I think that is just the nature of the mechanical reverse. Sometimes I will have to move forward a bit for it to engage, or I'll just drag it backwards about an inch and it will be fine. The drivetrain nees some "slop" in it, in order for reverse to work, at least from my experience.

IMO she just was yanking it too hard. She should have goosed ot a little forward, then pulled the reverse handle. Maybe she was impatient cuz she had to go potty??!! ;)!
