As far as a sled motor,can't help you much on that,but sounds like it's limiting in forward by your description. Pull the reverse limiter black wire located under the front panel and see if solves the problem.

The limiter is under the front panel. Just pull the black wire from item#30 and see if it helps. Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse

It goes to the electrical harness not the gear case. If a limiter starts failing it can default in forward range also. May or may not be the problem,but wont hurt to disable this module that fails quite often and see if it helps.

Kinda hard to swap these gears around because the internal silent chain has to ride on the forward gear.Reverse is actually gear to gear and the forward range is driven by the silent chain allowing faster speeds. Still think you have some sort of limiting problem,but I've been wrong before. Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse
