I can actually say that I have not missed a downshift this bad before in the Slingshot. I was passing a Honda trike of all things. I let out on the clutch and the rear tire literally hopped. It didnt even act like it was the wrong gear. It just went right into 2nd with no effort. And what spooked me the most is that it made a metal on metal bang. I pushed the clutch back in super quick before the engine revved up to far. I was expecting the final drive to have a crack in it when I got stopped. So far it seems like the bang noise was the drive belt jumping a tooth on the sprocket. I drove it another 10 miles and ran through all the gears and spun the rear tire in the first 4 gears. It didn't pop or make any weird noises. So i guess it didnt hurt anything. Hopefully i got lucky...
Anybody else ever hit the wrong slot before?
And @Tripod im talking about the transmission gear slot. So no "wrong slot" memes.....
