When I shift my sled into reverse in shifts very "hard" and not easy. Would this be due to belt deflection? I noticed that the belt is sitting a little low in the secondary and track is spinning when on the stand at idle. Thanks in advance.
 
Something is wrong and you are on right track. Track should not spin on stand. I wish it would but its not normal. Check for a broken primary or secondary spring.
 
You were right. Primary spring is broken. My dealer said would be couple weeks to get one. What would be a good comparable or what poundage was the factory?
 
I am running a Orange Yellow Orange but there is also Soft Start spring from Barn Of Parts or just get the stock spring.
Here is chart. I believe it is Blue Silver Blue stock

No. You guys know I am here for good and already enjoy when I can help. My reward is help from others. The Mechanic of Month is to encourage new Ideas and people to throw it out there! Might score a touchdown!
