Tranny Questions

Super X Transmission Survey

The seriousness of the transmission lock-ups, especially since there is no factory support, has led Alan Mayes, #1672, to create this survey. Remember that if the transmission locks up, there is no way to disengage it. The results of this survey may help us come to a better understanding of the lock ups. You may be contacted if we have additional questions to ask you. Thanks for your support. We'll post the results once they have been compiled.

Here's what Alan had to say: "Almost a year ago, I conducted a survey on this Board regarding EH transmission failures. Since a lot of developments have occurred in our group including the addition of many new members, I’d like to update my findings. If you responded previously, give me an update on your current mileage, any successes or failures, etc. If you have had a transmission failure or rebuild since my last survey, please respond to these questions. Please put as much detail as you can in the comments section. I need the smallest details to try to find some trends."
