Since 2020 they have had 2 free updates to the auto trans shifting and I believe they have finally got it right.

The first one really made it shift smooth, but reverse was horrible .

The second smothed it out more and fixed the reverse issue the first update made. Right now it is really smooth... The only thing I don't like now is if you are going up a long grade the trans shifts too much... for example, it will down shift to 4th, and run for a while, then shift back to 5th and within just a bit shift back the 4th. I have the paddles and use the M mode to help avoid this. One doesn't have to be in M mode to use the paddles, but the auto part only downshifts when coming to a stop in M mode, the rest is up to the driver.

You need to take the Slingshot to the dealership and have them update the autodrive software and you will not believe that the new program will make So Much Difference!!!

Night and Day difference and Polaris has recommended all Autodrive's Slingshots have this Upgrade !!!

And it is Free !!!

That's really good to hear!! Was hoping it wasn't anything to crazy. Do you know ion the software update is free or you have yto pay for them to update it?

I have a 2020 Slingshot AutoDrive with 10k miles and no performance mods and at low speeds or if I'm accelerating slowly (under 15mph) the throttle becomes very jerky/choppy until I get to 20mph or so and then it drives normal. It started doing that around 8k miles and progressively got worse. I can't even take a drink without spilling it on my shirt. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms? Iv never taken it in to get checked, yet at least. Only service done is regular maintenance.

I am wanting to put a custom tune/rev limiter on my Slingshot AutoDrive to limit any aggressive driving that can not be changed or altered by the driver (my 18 year old son) when operating the vehicle. What would I need to do or need to purchase to do this? Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
