We saw a fair few failures specially with 2 speed reverse enabled ! There inlies my recommendation to dis able or not use on the fly! I have seen that syncro cone ripped to shreads on one occasion! It is amazing thou how stronge the trans is when you see the inside as Pro mentioned! aside from that syncro! not that many mechanical issues otherwise just the electrics ! My one dosnt seem to change into second gear in reverse unless i press the + button. But i have done it before while moving (before you gave me the information that its not good to do) and it didnt make any noise like it dose form 6 to 7 in drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
