I HAVE A 2000 VICTORY V92SC. ON MANY OCCASIONS MY TRANSMISSION HAS DOWN SHIFTED ON ITS OWN FROM 3RD TO 2ND, 4TH TO 3RD, AND GRINDING HARD EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. I HAVE TALKED TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BOTH HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THESE BIKES('99-2000 VICTORY'S), AND BOTH HAVE DONE NUMEROUS TRANNY REPLACEMENTS EACH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED A FEW TIMES DUE TO THE TRANNY SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR IN TRAFFIC, AND THE SHIFTER STICKING WHILE TRYING TO GO THROUGH THE GEARS.*AK
TRANSMISSION DROPS INTO LOWER GEAR SPONTANEOUSLY, CAUSING SUDDEN DECELERATION
3 of 3 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
