And as compared to the 4spd that has a colar that slides over the gear to engage, the Roadranger has the shift fork that sits in the middle of the slider pictured and that slides into the gear-much more robust for misuse. So when shifting the 4spd, always use the clutch.

We can also tell on a fully synchronized 6spd trans when the driver has not been using the clutch. How? The synchronizers are worn out by 80,000miles and you get gear grinding. Wheras with a driver that always uses the clutch, the synchronizers should last 3-400,000miles-or the life of the transmission before overhaul. Good Luck, TomC
