Within 30 seconds they are back " oh it has a clutch" ..... no Sh1t, gee I always wondered what that pedal was for.

I think it's the TR3650 that is now used in the XR8.It sure is a lot more user friendly than the old Top Loader!

How about an old single rail?I replaced the main selector shaft, welded the 1-2 selector and repalced a fractured 1-2 Selcetor over the year.I have been left in neutral on the way to Royal Pines with my girlfriend.Left in fourth on my way to Brisbane.and been with out 2nd for three months...All sentences served concurrently!
