Do a search on this web site for teched3 and white papers. I posted some info on the DeWalt/CIM mating of these components. We have not had bait of trouble with the through a season of competition, and did a teardown post season. I posted pics of this on CD a few years ago. We dropped the lowest stage per Joe Johnson's White Paper, and only shifted 2 speeds. Shifting on the fly is not recommended. We are looking at a newer model which appears beefier and more available than the older model. PM me if you need more info.
