What really stuffs RR Gearboxes is people driving along resting their hands on the gear stick, it wears the shift forks down and causes them to drop off into the rest of gearbox.
It was a real problem with the 14series and 16series 18 speeds, since then the forks have been redigned.
BTW, i bet if a Eaton Technician pulled my 15 speed down, they couldnt tell i have been shifting without a clutch.
It is the same as them telling you that you should stop fully before shifting from deep reduction into low range.....what a load of rubbish.
i dont know why they call them 15 speeds anyway, they only have 12 usable forward gears.
