    It actually wears both (but primarily wears the gear dogs).

    The dogs are touching when a gear is selected - that is how drive is transfered through the transmission.

    Preloading begins the process of moving those dogs out of contact while power is being transmitted through them and leads to the dog faces wearing at an angle and can result in the transmission jumping out of gear when under load.

    the time you are preloading the gear fork is about half a second before you change gear. shut the duck up.

    Mmmm, duck

    Right now I am roasting a chicken flavoured with lemon juice (I get a lot of lemons from a small tree out back). It will be delicious, but duck in orange sauce would be pretty tasty too.

    Oh - what was this thread about again?

    And if it does wear out?

    Send the bill to him.
