Whenever I tow with it I hit the tow/haul button but it seems like it is constantly shifting. It'll go onto OD, then the torque converter will kick in, then it'll drop a gear and then...

    XC120 Clutch issues

    Looking for some 120 experts. On my kids 120 the clutch is sticking. When we first start it we have to have the rear end of the ground as the track will spin instantly and if you hit the brakes to stop the track it will kill the sled.. After running it for awhile it will gradually loosen up and...
