bad reverse synchro from the day I picked up the car, no problems since, the 2nd gear problems are the people who slam it into 2nd hard and just drop the fultch, or powershift into 2nd, it is true its a bit "weaker" for lack of a better word, than other AWD trannys like say the Audi's Quattro tranny which is universally accepted as bullet proof, but I prooved them wrong on that :-/ , treat your car right and she will treat you right
