You are probably right, but the transmission/clutch is the only part that I never broke.
Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.
Shifting fast is for losers lol. Its probably the reason so many of your trannies fail kev lol.

i dont shift like that in my TD..
i can be nice to a trans, and the bearings still die..
when decelerating, the gears change directions of thrust..
when accelerating, you use the bigger set of bearings to take care of the thrust..
and when you decelerate, the other set (smaller ones) takes the thrust..
and i down shift ALOT to slow down.. thats my main means of slowing down.
my trannies all still work fine.. all 5 gears work. reverse is trashed in a couple of them, but ALL of them are extremely noisy going down the road, and at idle..
Oops my recent trip made me realize i was off a smidgen.
65 mph verified gps is actually 43-4400.shoot,mines so close ratio that id have to skip gears if i rev out say 2nd it feels faster if id skip to 4th to get back in the tq nicely.it doesnt really hurt my mileage,i wasnt counting and it was def over 40.so i let it sing on the hiway at 65 for a couple hours no biggie wear earplugs!
