My 02' had aluminum shift forks and when I got my tranny rebuilt, under warranty, they put a steel one in it.

Anyone know the Vin # changeover to Steel forks in '03?
I've been around the circle on this question several times. Appears the change was sometime in Dec /02/ - Jan/03. Consensus is that it was after the FFS fuel system change. However, no one has been able to come up with the definitive date or VIN.

Neil,
I would address the reverse lockout with whoever fixed your tranny. It can be fixed without removing the tranny (could be the solenoid is not reconnected). Otherwise, a good dealer tech can fix it.
