Dogs wear/break/etc...

From talking to several of the folks who roll their own shift on the fly transmissions, I have gathered that there are significant wear/breakage issues with this type of transmission.

This isn't to say that they are not managable or that the benefits are not worth it, but it is not as simple as some folks may think.

For what it's worth.
