I have a November 2013:
1. I think we should all avoid "snatch" at all cost. Never run the engine at a"lope" in fourth even if it feels good. Always keep the engine above 2500rpm (as has been said many times on TM).
2. I've had nothing but trouble with my belt rubbing on the side of the tire. I f the belt is adjusted properly to the center of the sprocket it will rub the tire. That is why there was no belt guard on the outside of the sprocket so the belt can be adjusted 3/8 inch off the sprocket to the near side. Which of course is WRONG.
3. There are two hubs available for the 3W. One is silver and one is black. My car had a silver hub and the later cars have a black hub. Its easy to check with a flashlight. The black hub places the sprocket about 1/4 to 3/8 inches out to the nearside and allows the belt to be run properly to the center of the sprocket where it belongs. It also allows for a belt guard on the nearside of the sprocket.
4. I just installed the black hub (pucker up it cost over $600.00 US) and so far it seems to have solved my belt problem (rubbing on tire) and I'll let you all know how it works.
5. I was hoping for some kind or "Retro" warrentee, but the dealer said Ha Ha.
