i'm with remcharger on this. anything you can do to protect the sprag should be implemented. manual low may seem redundant if it jumps right into second, but weird things happen. a lot of stuff blows up in the burnout box.



Yep, and it's not always the first incorrect burnout or the second or....but it's the accumulated abuse of the sprag that can eventually lead to failure.

Simply stated, spinning the tires in water doesn't fully load the sprag, if the sprag doesn't see a load at the rear wheels the rollers won't fully seat and partially seated rollers can skid and get flat spots worn on them leading to failure.
