Polaris put 2 tranny's in my 03 TLD Pred but both failed on the test ride one with 03 parts and the other with ALL 04 parts. Polaris replaced my complete engine in my case with a 04 engine.

Some 03's had cracked heads, others also had broken frames by the gas tank.

They had most of those problems sorted out by May build dates and all problems solved by November build dates, so I am told. Mine was built on February 6, '04 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have an 04 and have had zero issues with it and would not hesitate to buy another one - especially after taking a ride on an 04 yzf, way to stiff and narrow for my liking (at least in stock trim)... As for the 03 I can tell you that the guy I ride with has beat the living crud out of his and it has never given him any trouble – no idea what the build date is, so perhaps there is something to that.
