I sent the following response to Jr's post a couple of hours ago and it seems
to be in E-mail purgatory.
The 5 speed cars (MK9, FT200, and Staffs) all have a problem if they miss a
shift. First is to the left and back and it is fairly easy to hit reverse on
the 3-->2 shift. Assuming you don't damage the case, and only need the
reverse
gears, it can cost over $1,000.00 plus labor.
Why would you not want to allow folks to remove reverse if they so desire?
This "CM road race rule book purity" thing seems a little extreme at times.
The intent, IMHO, is to keep "specials" from dominating CM and removing
reverse
certainly doesn't represent the creation of a "special".
Thanks for listenin.
