Pics of dog gears & rings....if you look at the leading edges you can see the slight damage as they slam into gear !!!

I personally upshift and down shift with the FFD on sequential with no clutch, you can easily do it without flatshift etc they just make the function idiot proof....gear change on most the designed boxes that I have driven is a lot better than the converted type 9's that used to prevail....Quaife 60g for example is a very sweet change, as are the elite, selholm, drenth and tractive....
