Update: So, I figured out where the Gear Oil Fill hole and drain plug were. Changed out the gear oil and still nothing. So, in an effort to line up the plastic gear plate in neutral, I loosened both cables so I could move the plate freely. Unfortunately, I moved the plate, click by click so that I could get it into neutral and basically was able to spin it halfway around. So, I've seen where folks have recommended a metal plate to replace the plastic one. Could this be my issue? Could the plastic plate be stripped somehow where it doesn't engage the gear the way it should? I'm a novice mechanic but I've usually found my way around these things. In this case, I'm stuck and thinking I may need to bring it somewhere. It drives great in forward and it goes fine in reverse, it just won't go back and forth with the gear lever. Arrrrgggghhhhhh. It was a xmas gift for my kids and they are totally flipping out to ride it.
