    Yeah, there's a whole thread on it here somewhere. There is a bearing added just in front of the range section in the aux. If you look in the manual at the power flow, it's obvious that low range/high split has a unique path that causes a large speed differential between the front and back aux main shafts.

    You're right, it was a Peugeot, not a Citroën.

    I worked at the Marriott in Fascist Island, Newport Beach, CA. We were all guys. They fired that company, and hired a new, which kept me. The new company hired girls. One tried to drive the car, but never had driven a column shift, so she asked me to do it for her. I was surprised that it was a 4 speed!

    Well lets get the ball rolling while we wait for them.

    When split shifting, do you pop the stick into neutral, then back into gear? How about just let off the throttle to break torque? Or tap the clutch to break torque?

    Leave it in gear, switch while power is still on, let off power, wait for the sweet spot, and back on the juice
